I'm wanting to sell my Fat Chance and would rather it go to someone who will give it a good home than just put it on Ebay so I'm offering it for sale here first. It's a true survivor. I bought it 10+ years ago from the original owner and have ridden it ~1 mile since that time. Just short rides up the neighborhood street. I did that today. Otherwise it's been either inside or in the garage.
It's amazing how well it rides given the age and originality of the bike. I'm not an expert of original equipment, but everything looks very original and the condition is really good. Cosmetically it is 8.5 out of 10. Mechanically it is probably a 9.5 out of 10. It can't have many miles on it at all. I'll get pics up tomorrow. Let me know if you have interest and if you have any specific questions. $1500.00 is what I'm asking. I've shipped bikes before using a LBS so if you are not nearby, but want the bike I can help to get it shipped. I'm in Columbia, SC and the bike has spent it's whole life here.
