Today I was driving through a not-so-nice area of town. Never-you-mind why I was in such a neighborhood. So along rides my (new) buddy on this beater. Says he's on his way to recycling center. So I ask him how much he wants for the rusty old clunker. He quotes me a "fair" price with a twinkle in his eye - like he's thinking 'there's no way this fool with give me $$ for my crappy old bike.' I whip out the cash, we shake hands, and we both part ways feeling like we just got a really good deal.

1987 Fat Chance. Mostly original except for the shifters, rear wheel, and post. It's way too small for me, but I couldn't resist.

Hopefully you gave them enough to take the bus.

Dang - it even looks like it's a reasonably large frame too.

HaHa, of course I did. I don't know where the recycling center is anyway.

Nope, he wanted to keep the seat (wrapped in a plastic bag as it was). Who was I to argue? I have a favorite seat too.

On holiday in San Fran in 2000 I saw a FAT very much like that locked up by the Tram turnable
Very nice & lucky find!

Well, I got around to measuring it and it's actually a 19 c-t-c. Maybe I can ride it... What diameter seatpost is this thing supposed to have anyway?

Should be a 26.4; slightly tough to find. Whats wrong with the post thats on it? Cindy Whitehead would have no complaints.

Hmmm, now where did I leave my super tight Ross jersey? Just kidding...CW rules.

Another lazy question because I don't feel like going out to the garage. Is the rear on this 130mm? I'd assume so because it's a 6 spd rear hub.

Also, what is the seatpost clamp size? It's missing one.
