    Brake for Kicker - Under Chainstay

    Suntour made roller cam brakes as well and they are much less expensive than the WTB version. There are two versions of the Suntour brake, one uses linear springs like WTB and the other uses coil springs (multiple models use this design). The linear spring version is more expensive and...

    I see a new version of the Chris Cross is listed on the Fat Chance website. It says the introduction will be early next year. Has any one heard any details about the model?

    new Fat Chance jerseys

    I ordered one one of the new "reverse" Yo Eddy jerseys from the new Fat Chance. I ordered an "XL" and it's a little large for me. Any of you happen to have a "L" and find it a bit tight? Want to trade? :) Mine has been tried on, but not worn or washed. Still has the tags on it.

    This image is taken from a current eBay auction. Is this weld under the down tube (on the sleeved section) normal? http://www.ljschroeder.com/fat/P1210065.JPG

    When Fat moved to NY, were the guys that welded the frame the same guys that welded Serrota frames? or were there employees hired specicically for Fat frames? Who were they and how'd they get up to speed so fast?

    '93 Yo! Fork

    Would a '93 Yo! Eddy frame be suspension corrected or not? It feels like the head tube angle is slacker than I'd have expected on my Yo. I measured the fork to crown on the Yo! Eddy fork that is on it and it's right at 41cm, which would seem to me is suspension corrected. Is a '93 frame built...
