first off let me apologize for not hanging out in this forum more. i've been slacking.
i just picked up this little trials frame at my local bike swap from a former partner with Fat City. he left the company in 1986 and this frame was part of his severance package. as he tells me only about 5 were made. they were made for a group of trials riders in NYC. he said the industry was ignoring these guys to FCC decided to build them a few so they would be stoked.
this frame i have is a new old stock 26/24" trials bike from 1985. the chain stays have the bullets at the ends but the seat stays do not. it also has over the BB cable routing. the one that really confuses me is the lack of brake bosses. anyone have an idea why? perhaps it was an unfinished frame and as he left the company they quickly sprayed it protect it??? maybe to give you the option of running roller cams or canti's?
so, can anybody shed some more light on this puppy? i havn't decided if im going to keep it yet so if you are interested in throwing an offer out to me speak up.
thanks, Sky
