    Help identifying this frame

    I just picked up this frame while buying another bike. Guy knew it was a fat, but not much else. It has the markings from what looks like "Wicked Fat Chance" decal set that has been removed. The custom graphics paint is under the clear coat, so this is likely an original custom paint job...

    Deep Creek MD Ride

    My buddy Steve and I met up in MD for a Fat reunion at Deep Creek State Park. Steve's Fat is new to him and really a trail virgin in its current build. Regardless, we rode fast and had a lot of fun. Always good to ride with another Fat owner. The trail had some tight rocky single track that...

    Get out and ride

    Weather has been great, so it was a good day to break out the Fat for some riding. It is always fun to rip up the trail.

    1997 Manitou SX TI 1in Threadless

    This is a 1997 Manitou SX TI fork with extras. It has a 1 inch steerer tube that is 8 inches long. It came off my Large Yo Eddy with some room to spare, so it will fit a big frame. I am the orginal owner of this fork, special ordered it with the steel 1inch steerer in 1997. Was the top of the...

    Frame Painters in NC

    Is there anyone in North Carolina that does frame painting? I am strongly considering returning my frame to the original Team Violet. I am thinking either a single color with frame and fork or another two color fade with Team Violet as one of the colors.

    93 Yo Eddy

    I just found this site. I have owned my FAT since 1994. It was orginally team violet with a MAG 21, but got repainted two tone about 10 years ok. These photos are old, but will give you an idea of the ride. My old girl is on the stand right now without a fork (anyone got parts for a 97 Manitou...
