Just stumbled upon this in an old FTF mag. I’ll try and get the images scanned at work but here’s some quick phone pics.

Wish this was UK. Beautiful bike

Hi there im glad you approve of the colour scheme. I had it refinished many years ago and based it on my favourite FAT CHANCE the 10th Anniversary. This Saratoga YO frame shared a lot of the frame features of the 10th so i paid homage with my silver green fade. The chainrings are UK made Goldtec...

It’s been a while since I put this together. But I’m thinking the stem was a 26.0 clamp and I ended up using a 25.4- 26.0 Nitto shim

Not sure if I’ve put this on here. Owned for many years but not used in a long time. The only thing negative would be the tyres! They’ve dried out over the years and feel terrible, almost scary to ride. Needs some fresh rubber. The frame number is confusing as I’d always thought it to be a 96...

Serial number is TFM 1108 Guess that makes it a 98

ill have to have a look over weekend

what value would folks put on this bike? Im having to downsize my bike fleet and this is on the list.

That’s a beautiful looking bike. The decals look really cool. Well done 👍

Yes it’s a beautiful frame but just a wee bit too big for me unfortunately

That’s rather lovely! I’m only really looking for a frame & fork though. I already have some parts collected. Please though can you give me an idea of a price via a direct message. Oh and I’m also in the United Kingdom. Thank you

Another 23 miles after work on the Retro-mod Yo. Not been near my gravel bike since building this.

Thanks for the positive words. Happy you like what I’ve done with it. Its replaced my gravel bike for sure. In fact I rode my FAT Ti the other day and even that felt slower than this. It makes such a huge difference having the bigger wheels and the disc brakes. The disc mount is tig welded onto...

Yes this sounds like a plan. However my friend made me these for my retro-mod Yo and love them. Thought about get some more made and painting them Ti colour and fading some red up the legs.

Picked this up last year. It had been sat unused for many years. But the build on it is pretty much how I would have done it. I may get a segmented fork built for it and colour matched to the Ti/ red scheme. I’ve fitted a new White Industries bottom bracket, new old stock tyres and a few other...
