Monster Fat

Syborg · November 14th, 2009, 7:01 AM

This is my Monster Fat

DC · November 15th, 2009, 11:06 AM

SWEET!
So many cool MONSTERs on here lately, are they all going over the pond???

yo-Nate-y · November 15th, 2009, 11:59 AM

Super clean! I'm not a fan of gripshift but it is always nice to see the smiling Frank.
That purple is nice too.

Dr S · November 17th, 2009, 3:34 AM

Very nice, looks super clean with those amberwalls. Nice and balanced and looks comfortable too. How does it ride?

RobTu · November 20th, 2009, 10:57 PM

freakin fresh fat!

Nice and clean, and I like grip shift

Goodness no

yo-Nate-y · November 21st, 2009, 12:55 AM

Got at least one in Connecticut!

rthomer · November 21st, 2009, 1:08 AM

I'd love to see the rest of it Nate.
That was the original color of mine up until my momentary lapse of consciousness.

Dr S · November 21st, 2009, 6:36 AM

That pink Monster is my current favourite on this site. Colour is brilliant.

TEAM PINK!!!
me too

colker · November 21st, 2009, 10:08 AM

good thread guys! makes me want to ride.

yo-Nate-y · November 21st, 2009, 6:15 PM

Thanks! And yes, it is that pink in person.

I posted a slew of pics in this thread at RetroBike:
http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=79008

Not sure if are pics viewable for non-members, but it is worth joining up otherwise!

I am trying to decide what to do with it re: a dirt drop set up. This weekend is ridiculously busy with work stuff, but I might have some time to try to bend me some old Cinelli's. Either that, or keep searching for a proper set of offroad drops.

rthomer · November 21st, 2009, 7:05 PM

It's viewable, and real nice!

DC · November 21st, 2009, 10:02 PM

Man-o-man!!! That is the bike that might make me stop wanting another FAT! My 1st Yo was Imron white with a TEAM PINK Yo! fork and pink decals, boy do I miss that machine! I kicked so many macho d.head's butts on that TEAM PINK ride! Your MONSTER is a MONSTER to behold! A Soma Junebug bar in white might rock it, but you'd have to go for a 31.8 stem.(maybe with an appropriate stem from Rody or Chris I). If you have trouble deciding, just pm me for an addy to ship it to and I'll take care of her!!
Rock it - nice ride!!!

yo-Nate-y · November 22nd, 2009, 10:44 AM

Thanks! And thanks for the recommendation too. I saw the Junebug while searching---the white would look great with a bit left untaped, but too bad it is only 31.8. I'd like to try the Midges but the hand-space issue kinda sucks.

But the part sourcing continues! I have a set of NOS 7 speed Suntour barcons heading my way now

Once I decide on bars I'll narrow the stem options.....

I tried a set of WTB dirtdrops on my Monster. The headtube is so short I had to use a ridiculously tall Nitto stem just to get into a comfortable riding position.

yo-Nate-y · November 25th, 2009, 1:49 PM

Looks great. I remembering seeing that somewhere---socal riders maybe?

And yes, that is tall! I don't think it looks bad though---kind of dig it actually. Good thing since that is what I am up against

Did you keep it like that and how did you find it ride-wise with drops?

It's still built up like that, but soon to be changed to a conventional bar. It rides well on moderately smooth trails. We have a lot of rocky trails out here in Southern California, and I prefer them over the smooth stuff.

I get awfully nervous with the long stem on the rough descents. I have visions of me becoming a human lawn dart...

IF52 · November 25th, 2009, 5:51 PM

Upchuck,

You're running that 67.5? How does that work for you?

The 650B/27.5" tire works great. It's pulling double duty between this bike and a '99 Yo Eddy SS conversion with a Chris Igleheart custom fork.

bguild · December 16th, 2009, 11:15 AM

Does anyone know where to get a new set of Monster Fat Stickers? I need to do a repaint.. Thanks

jbrannsten · December 17th, 2009, 1:49 AM

Try to contact YoKris on the forum. I have a complete set, which I have been told was the last set available but you might be lucky and that something shows up.

Syborg · April 10th, 2010, 2:31 PM

I've found the passport for my Monster

Greetings

yo' djblu · April 11th, 2010, 11:50 AM

The build card! One of my favorite parts of the bike!

Nice.
