1983 Fat Chance:

This is the earliest Fat Chance bike that has come through the shop.  We have been really torn on whether to keep this one or not but we have one almost identical to this one but in better condition so this one is up for sale.  The bike has a really nice patina to it and should probably just be left "as-is".  All of the components have a nice lights corrosion on them that matches the frame nicely.  SOLD

TA Cyclotourist crank, neat decals

Reynolds 531 box crown fork

Deer head rear derailleur with "bullet" stays
