I've been lazy about posting my own bikes around here, so I think it's time I get down to it. These aren't my first Fats, but they're the first that I feel fit and ride just the way I want them to. They're both keepers, for sure.
First up is my 1991 Yo Eddy. Serial # 041Y1M Very basic 7-speed XT build on this bike, with XC Pro cranks, Thomson post, Odyssey stem, Specialized bars and Mavic 231 hoops. ![]() ![]() ![]() And my latest addition to the garage is this 1989 Team Comp. this one has a funky "Solar System" paint job by Wendyll. I might need to apply some fresh decals to this one at some point, but the paint is actually in great shape for a bike that's been a rider it's whole life. Serial # 08349 TC I took the time to do a slightly nicer build on this bike. 7-speed XT, DX hubs on Mavic 231 rims, Cook's Quality Products cranks, White Ind. bottom bracket, Suntour XC brake levers, White Bros. bars, Salsa stem, Interloc Racing seatpost. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Just had a lovely evening ride on one of mine. 2 miles of steady climbing on gravel to get the blood flowing, before a nice descent carefully avoiding nocturnal wildlife, the dinner watching the Olympics
