Hi Everyone,
Picked up a Yo with S/N FLE001 Very odd, does not seem to be standard Fat S/N. Can anyone help with this? Thanks |

Is that a FatLanta?
Rick, anyone? I don't think I have seen that style SN before. Looks like a one-off or custom. COuld be something special. I like the 001 part... Got photos of it?

Working on the photos
Couple of unique things: Threaded BB Shell. Supposedly, this is a very early YO (1990-1991), I thought they were pressed in until 1995 or so Also, from the brake bridge to the seatpost is an integrated, metal piece that is best described as the "Don't Tread On Me" Snake. Very unique, unlike anything I've seen before. |

Nope. The 3 Fatlantas had normal series serial numbers form 96. 2 of them are #19/20 is YO S1181 #1/20 is YOM1185 And 20/20 size Large still hangs in Outback as far as I know. I don't know the serial number.

Wasn't there an employee at FAT with the last name of Flemming or something, hence the FLEoo1 number? Could be an employee bike from the day?

Seriously cool frame. Sounds like an employee bike to me.
Very awesome! Are you going to restore it or build it up as-is?

Seems like a nice collection you have hanging in the background in one of the pics. Got any pics of those as well?

Damn, those dropouts are cool! Are they standard of the first frames or special designed for this particular FLE-frame? The seat tube gusset is supa-dupa-fly!!!

You can't post links to the Lightbox photos. Just upload them to your post using the "attachment" feature and they will show properly.

I'd vote for an employee bike too - no rear canti cable guide, but early tooth pick mounts??? pretty strange. Your Chris Cross bike is really nice - I don't see those at all and that team violet Yo must be nice.

Mike Flanagan. IIRC he was the guy who came up with and painted all of the early Team Violet bikes.

Brian,
I saw JD today and told him about your new Yo. He said it does sound like a 'one off or employee bike', but said he really doesn't know for sure and that your best bet would be to contact former worker, Chris Inglehart. Re: 'FLE...' I too thought of Mike Flanigan but wouldn't that have been 'FLA...'? Anyway...I'd try to email Inglehart. -Jeff |

That frame is begging for this water bottle cage!
Cool frame! Looking forward to finding out it's history.
