1990 Team Comp Bought it a year and a half ago thinking that it would be great to have an unmolested, pretty original bike in my size - XL Fats don't come up often - to take out on the occasional ride, but not worry about as it was described as being in good working order. Unfortunately, the...

Someone's trying to pass this off as legit: http://forums.mtbr.com/showthread.php?t=694993 I've been close to being burned by this kind of scam in the past. Be careful out there and, if it doubt, run it by us.

Anyone? A long shot for sure, but if you can't ask here...

Should be here soon after repair and repaint. An almost complete NOS 1989 build awaits, but I couldn't find an XT headset, don't like 1989-era grips much and won't pay the kind of money people are wanting for the pedals.

Anyone got a source for the rounded-corner US flag decals they'd care to share?

The money-man is forcing IF out of Somerville and into a shop in New Hampshire? Only one employee is making the move? Can anyone confirm or deny? Sounds like Fat City all over again...

It's been a few years since I discovered that the cheap Chinese bearings from bearingsdirect.com were the only ones I could get to replace the NTNs in the BB. Looks like they still have them - but have mysteriously added a 4 to the beginning of the code...

Looking for a black 28.6 Paul front derailleur. Anyone?

My annual call for any Fat in XL, 21, 23... What do you have that needs a good home?

This arrived at Velo-orange today. Looks pretty slick if you're going with newer lo-pro cranks. http://velo-orange.blogspot.com/2009/07/new-threadless-bb.html

The PPG paint codes everyone has always wondered about: http://groovycycleworks.blogspot.com/2009/04/happy-200th-post.html

I must admit that my eyebrows went up a bit when I read his post today. The "as easy to find as 1" threaded suspension forks" bit gave me a bit of pause. Dude feels the pain. Anybody else a regular RTMS reader? Best. blog. ever. ATMO.

I'd like to pass on this project to someone else with more time, space and energy. It's an old Team Comp frame (serial number 024C09) that has been modified with horizontal dropouts. Plugs were machined to create that pointed-stay Fat Chance look, and the track ends were inserted - that part's...

23' or XL Fat wanted. What do you have taking up space?

Inevitably, a thorough search would probably dig up a few gems, but I'd love to see a thread all on it's own for what seems to me to be the Holy Grail of Fat Chances - the big ones. In all my years of lurking here and checking ebay for Fats (as well as working in a shop that sold more Fats in...

There's a nice green Wicked on ebay right now. Anyone from the forum?

I've been using a Mavic BB for ages in my Fat singlespeed because of an ill-advised - and beer soaked - attempt at threading the shell. It's a really smooth, adjustable and super solid alternative; mine's going on 10 years of use without servicing. The thing is, you're supposed to chamfer the...

Selling my IF SS Deluxe Disc-only EBB Frame and IF rigid fork tonight on eBay and thought I'd see if anyone on the list was interested today. Frame: Steel w/sterling headbadge. ST 48.3cm TT 62.2cm HT 12.5cm HT above TT 1cm Chainstay 42.5cm With 80mm fork: Wheelbase 109.3cm, SO 81.4, trail...
