I thought I would throw up a thread on "bikes in progress" and see if anyone had any interesting projects on the go.
I'm working on a 1987 Fat Chance, factory spec. It's a 6-spd Deore bike and I'm not being too faithful to "period correct" as I bring it back to life.
The wheels were cheap steel spokes on Specialized rims and Sansin catridge hubs. I'm keeping the hubs, but got some Mavic X517s and DT 14/15 guage black spokes.
New chainrings, chain, grips, tires, tubes and seat. NOS Hite-rite. Can't wait to take it out to the trails.
What about everyone else? Where do you weigh in on the "period correct" debate?
