Always ahead of the game FCC. Wonder how many of the 25 Ti frames projected were actually made in 86 and of course the Ti forks. Would love to see pics of those. 🤔
I have Ti variants from both facilities and love them both. The 94 Ti is a work of art and a stiffer more pure performance orientated ride. The 97 Ti is softer more cruiser like comfort yet still a great handling ride. Again flawless minimal beautiful welds on both. Had Yos from both facilities...
Whats the A-C on this ?, it may help the sale. Also some more pics if the fork legs, dropouts etc. I assume its Chinese made if not who made it ?
GLWTS 😁
These really are so nice to ride and very rare. I guess its a medium size frame ? I would try to avoid selling this as you will most likely regret it. The market is bad, you will only get low balls and it’s far too good for that BS.
My NY made 97 Ti FAT has a 1 1/8th Morati Ti fork fitted with 425mm A-C ( not measured offset ) but it really does ride like a dream. IIRC the pure performance FATs ( Yo/Ti) have a 1.5” ~ 38mm rake and the Wickeds typically have a more relaxed 1.75” fork rake.
I have hammered my 89 TC and I mean properly hammered it, not so much at my age now alas. Its been flat landed from ~ 6ft jumps hundreds of times, toured around EU/Ireland/UK, once rode ~ 220miles in 24hrs on it, incl ~ 45 off road all on knobbly tyres ! and its still perfectly straight, no...
Actually I just measured my 93 WL At 405mm A-C so its very mild sus correction at best. A 10mm A-C difference gives a 1 deg change in geo. I have original factory unicrown fork and assumed it was fully sus corrected. Other 93 models like Yos/Tis are more sus corrected and I assumed they all were.
The 93 catalogue only lists Wicked Lites which were sus corrected. Afaik the 92 and earlier Wickeds were not, unless custom ordered that way. If you compare head tubes lengths for the same size frame with earlier catalogues, the later sus corrected frames are typically shorter in length.

Easy !!! 😀 I have both a TC & WL in 19.5” 😉 and the TC is still top of the totem pole for all round handling and ‘feel’ but the WL is still a wonderful comfy ride. A 10th Anni only recently got the nod as a straight-up great rider from a highly respected guru of retro bikes. Various models have...
