1988 Fat Chance Build
Well, i have had this frame sitting in the closet for about 2 years now. Did some trading with a few friends and got most of the parts lined up. So now its time for the build. Doing this one mostly period correct, or as close as i can. Be a cool looking bike when its done.
Quick question, the seattube is measuring about 26mm. Does that sound right?

Step 1
Removed the old headset. Removed the Mavic BB, rebuilt it and put it back on. Framesaver'd the whole frame. thorough cleaning and polishing to come next.

Interesting cable routing, looks like the standard brake bridge was removed. I don' recall seeing any like that but it's possible.
Artwork is a one-off for sure but I like it Good luck Scott |
