Can't stay away from these... Bought it from the original owner who had it delivered from the factory sans paint. His friend did the custom paint with airbrushed chili peppers and then clear coated it.

...this made sense. 1994 Barracuda A2MS, 12" frame size. The worst blemish is here: I believe this sticker = made in Colorado. I have a year or maybe two before my daughter will grow into it, so some time to build. Already have a silver King headset and some 150mm AC square taper...

Want to dirt drop your Fat? - here is everything you need. Nitto Dirt Drop stem, short quill, 100mm extension Salsa 25.4mm Woodchipper (46cm wide), with about 1" removed from the super long end sections. Spiritual successor to the WTB dirt drops. Cane Creek brake levers (SCR-5) Handlebar...

Anybody know when/if Fat started venting their seat tubes? My 1990 Wicked (that was redone by the factory in mid-1996) appears to have a vent hole in the bottom of the seat tube (and a rubber grommet drain hole on the bottom of the BB shell). Is it possible they added these when it went back...

ok, I'm gonna do it this time. 1990, 18". Was Grello (I bought this new in 1992), repainted Arrest Me Red! at the factory in 1996 before they shut down. Fork was built by Igleheart last year. BOI Segmented, but with Wicked geometry. Chris' guy tried his best to match my old AMR! - not...

Hi all, While the pressed-in BB in my 1990 Wicked is just fine (probably only has a couple hundred miles on it), I really want to get the frame re-painted or powdercoated. Is it possible to remove the bearings without completely wrecking them if you are careful and have the right tools? Thanks,

Anyone? I'd love to find one of these for my daughter (she's a few years away, but it'd be damn cool).

No longer for sale.

Just pulled the old unicrown off my Wicked and cleaning it up for sale/auction (honesty, right?). I'm 99.5% sure it's the original Fat Wicked unicrown fork that came on this frameset when I bought it NOS in 1992, but is there anything distinctive to look for? It appears to have SHIMANO...

For my 1990 Arrest Me Red! Wicked. Very jazzed. Too bad it's winter here!

1990 Fat chance Wicked, 18". I purchased the frame and fork NOS from McLain Cycle in Traverse City, MI in June of 1992 for $450. Originally it was Grello. sadly, this is the best image I currently have of it in original-ish guise in 1992 (color was way brighter than it appears in that crappy...

My 1990 Wicked (originally Grellow) was repainted by FAT back in 1996 in Arrest Me Red! I still have the original unicrown (black) but am having a new BOI fork made (Igleheart). Black is acceptable, but I'd really like something resembling the AMR! on the bike. Has anybody had this color...

Looking for a 1" threaded or non-threaded steerer Yo Eddy fork for my 1990 Wicked. Obviously this is the non-suspension corrected era. Have the original Wicked unicrown fork (it's an 18" frame BTW) that I'd be willing to trade + cash, or etc. thanks, RMP

Hi all, I'm the original owner of a 1990 Wicked (907W08 I think). I have the original FAT unicrown fork, and of course its threaded, and super short. I'm thinking of grabbing one of the unthreaded Tange Infinity 390 A-C forks that Universal Cycling is selling so I have a little more...
