Today I found a nice solution for Chance frames that need a new seatpost clamp. It works for frames with the "tab" (through which the bolt goes) and probably for frames without. The Slim Chance I restored came with the original seatpost clamp, but it looked hideous. I decided to order a...

Here is the Slim Chance I finished today for my girl. Hope she likes it when she comes home tonight and sees this surprise in the living room. It took a while to find all the parts. I also had to polish the frame a bit. A respray would be better, but I didn't find new decals yet. This does the...

Looking for a nice or excellent frame in size L, road or MTB. I prefer something from 1991 or earlier, but will consider everything as long as it is in very good condition. Thanks for looking!

The Slim I bought is too good to do a full paintjob. I decided to touch up where necessary and polish the original paint where needed. Now there are two problems: 1 where to get Imron #5351 (blue) or similar touch up paint? 2 which polish to use? Especially polishing can be tricky if the...

The Slim I found could do with a new paint job. Can anyone help me out with a set of new decals?

Does anybody know if Slim Chance decals are still available anywhere? Regards, Spikes

Looking for an original frame is good condition in size L. Will be repainted, so apart from rust and dents the condition isn't very important. Frame only please, with a BOI obviously ;) Please PM me what you have.....

Finished today: my (our) Ibis Touche tandem. I bought the frame in new condition and built it up myself. It has Campy Velocity brakes and gears, White Industries hubs, King headset, Truvativ tandem cranks, Profile bars, Thomson posts, Velocity rims, Conti tyres and Wheelsmith spokes.

Wanted: a Slim Chance or a Chris Chance Road in a small size (50 preferred, but will consider 52), to build a nice bike for my wife. I know they are quite impossible to find, but sometimes you're lucky... PS: sorry for the title typo. Can the moderator change this for me? PPS: I just found out...

For sale: repainted (powder coated) black Monster Fat with original decals in green for sale. Including matching black BOI fork. One inch headset. Looking at

A while ago I bought a NOS Chris Cross frame. Now at last it is time to start building. It has to be finished before autumn. It is hot lava and will get assorted parts by Campy, CK, White Industries, Salsa etc. Currently I am looking for a 1" cable hanger that will match a threaded headset...

Monster Fat for sale. size L, new powder coat, green decals, BOI fork to match. Have to get pictures soon, but it is stowed away and packed at the moment. Please PM if interested.

Obviously I would prefer a Fat Chance tandem, but and Ibis is very much okay too. MTB or road doesn't really matter as long as the captain is a M/L and the stoker a S/M. Thanks!

Your help is much appreciated to give my wife some sweet wheels.

Last sunday my stem broke. To be more precise: the front plate of my Extralite UL stem broke. According to the manufacturer it is due to overtightened bolts for a long period of time (how do they know: I use a torque wrench). Anyway: I need a new stem. I could go for the newer models from the...

No time to build unfortunately. Bought it off a collector in Germany. New powdercoat, new decals (original), great state! 1" threaded headset, Yo Eddy fork included. Price: EUR600 O.B.O.

See this thread: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15436 It's time a nice Fat wins the BOTM competition again don't you think? ;-) Although the competition is strong......

About two years ago, I found a picture of this Tifat on the internet and I fell in love. It is easy to see why: I wanted to build a bike that was as beautiful as this one, with the same componentry, i.e. Campagnolo Record OR from around 1993. I was offered a frame in good condition (but...

Fat Chance Random Tandem, or whatever type they made else. It would make a dream come true!

I just bought a Buck Shaver frame. It needs a cable hanger for the rear canti brakes, but I am not sure which one to buy. I found one made by Tektro that looks OK (attached). Does anyone know what hanger came standard on the Buck and where to find it? Thanks!
