I'd be lucky to get the friggin' thing over my head. Never mind my fat old body!! Scott

Still love the all-black look. I had my Wicked repainted all black after the red, white and blue harlequin had gotten beaten up. Scott

Cool Bike! I'm not too far away from you. Enjoy it Scott

It depends on how old the frame is. We changed the serial number nomenclature either in 1989 or 1990 to include a letter(s) at the end of the SN to indicate the frame size. My Wicked has the SN 87777. It was the 777th frame produced in 1987. There is no size indicator included. I believe this...

This is ultra-rare. Before my time but I had no idea anything like this existed. Would have been welded by Gary. I don't know who it would have been built for. We never made any mixte frames during my tenure. We did create the 15" Fat and then the 14" Wicked for riders of "lesser" stature...

Any geometry differences between the '89 and '91 Wickeds would likely be just in manufacturing tolerances and possible differences in butting of the tubesets from True Temper. I don't know if Chris changed any of the butting specifications over that period of time and it does not seem likely to...

Will be interesting to see if they can get anywhere near their asking price. Yikes Thinking about selling my 1987 18" custom Wicked. hmmmmm

Since that's a FAT with the chainstay U-Brake / Roller cam brake mounts, it is likely from 1988 or 1989 (best guess). If that is the original color, it would have been a custom Imron paint (likely painted over a stock black epoxy powder coat, which was the norm then) Give us the serial number. I...

I believe the Jim Espey poster shot was done in a local pool. It would have been around the same time as the other posters done that year. (one of them featuring yours truly and an unpainted steel frame) I remember going to the photo studio near the shop for that shoot and the others were done...

I will look at what I have when I get home from work later today Scott

It's been a long time but at least now its legal here :rolleyes: Happy Holidays Scott

I would suggest doing a google search of suppliers of dry ice in your area and purchase a small amount of it. Remove the seat clamp and QR. You could also remove the seat which may make things a bit easier. Wrap a few turns of duct tape around the top of the seat post. Carefully pack the dry ice...

I don't think so, but I'm not 100% sure. I thought they were just regular production frames outfitted with Mavic parts wherever possible. I didn't have any direct involvement and I don't remember being told that any specific frames were going to become Mavic bikes. But, you know, that old smoky...

send me a PM for contact info

We worked with Seattle Bike Supply for a while to supply complete bike parts kits to dealers for them to assemble into complete bikes at their shops. We rarely ever assembled complete bikes for shipment, if ever. Most complete assemblies done at FCC were for employee bikes or race team bikes or...

I will have to find a photo of it to post, but my 1987 Wicked had a "partial" harlequin paint job done by Hoss Rogers. The main triangle was all white and the seatstays and chainstays were harlequin red and blue. Also, my box crown fork was harlequin red and blue. I used black decals for some...

It's a 1985 Fat, probably welded by Gary Helfrich hisself! ;)

Didn't last long. Hope it's a real 10th Scott

Gotta be honest, I kinda like it! I'm glad they used the Buck Shaver scheme since it keeps the memory of Pat Egan alive.

She's a beauty! Nice work, as always
