Howdy friends, Im pondering selling my '95 size L Buck Shaver. I've loved this bike but a recent move is forcing me to downsize my bike collection. The paint is original arrest me red and is in pretty good condition. This bike has been ridden but not too hard and while it shows a few signs of...

Im investigating a very nice wicked that a friend recently found leaned up against a pile of furniture with a free sign on it. The serial number reads 01668w which leads me to believe its an '89. The paint is black with yellow decals and mostly in mint condition. The fork is also black which I...

Howdy Fatcogs Sadly, my wife says I have too many bikes so Im letting go of a beautiful Chris Igleheart frame. It's easy on the eyes, a pleasure to own, and really fun to ride! There's a bit of an interesting back-story as well but Ill include the important details below so you can skip the...

I've been trying to get my buckshaver to handle well for a while now and I think I finally nailed it! I had Walt works make this beautiful custom steel fork and I couldn't be happier! Now all i need is patience to wait for more dry singletrack! Hope everyone has a good weekend, cheers! :beer:

This bike was set up single speed about eight years ago and I decided it didn't feel quite right. It traded hands a few times between me and a friend before I decided to take it on as a restoration project; this time as a more period appropriate build. The only modern concessions are tires and...

Hey everyone, I'm excited to share my newest project with everyone: an "arrest me red" Buck Shaver! I've owned this frame for almost 10 years and its been in storage for some of that time so I'm excited to clean it up and get it riding again. One question, however: I can't determine the year or...

Hi All, Long time Fat fan, first time poster here, Im looking to convert my Buck Shaver to a 650 wheel size. Does anyone have any experience with this? My greatest concern is that the wishbone seat stays are just too narrow to accommodate a 650 wheel and tire. Furthermore, I don't know of a...
