Hello all in the Fat Cog world. Just joined this forum today and hope to visit and contribute often.
Little about me. Started mountain biking in 1989 on a Spech Rockhopper, moved on to a Yeti FRO in 91, then a Marin Team Issue (TET frame) in 92, which i still have of course. Rode the Marin until last year when I decided to give new technology a try. Disk brakes and full sus are nice but the old stuff is where my heart is.
I have always admired Fat Chance bikes back in the day but never saw one in person, in the Northwest they are few and far between. Recently a riding friend mentioned he was interested in selling his Wicked, it was just taking up too much space. I snapped it up immediately.
The bike is nice but needs attention as I suspect most do that have been ridden and "updated" over time. In the next few days I will be posting pics of the bike and also ask questions as I start working on it.
BTW, it is a 1989 Wicked. Black with green grafics. No rust, big frame but i hope to make it work for me.
Thanks all.
