Finally, I landed a Wicked Fat Chance after all these years. Traded some new stuff
for the bike. The s/n is : 07279W. Can any one tell me about the year it was made?
I will get a pic up this week for all to see. Thanks

Looks like you got yourself a 1989 21" Wicked, welded by Scott Bengston (i-robot on this forum) on June 21, 1989! Congrats. Let me know if that bike is too big; i've got a 19.5" made the same year that's a little too small for me.

Cheers, Jon

Ok Jon, seeing your looking at the BOOK.... who tacked it ! hahaha !

Thanks to all of you, its really neat knowing the history of this bike. I stripped her down today. Heck of a time removing the BB Total rust, but frame is in decent shape.
Again I will get some pics up soon. Oh, and what are your thoughts on painting v. powder coat. I have a guy tellling me that the heat process used in powder coat will ruin the temper of the steel. ???

From what I have been told, the powdercoating temperatures (300-400 degrees) are low enough that it does hurt the steel, but someone with more technical knowledge should chime in on this.
