Cant wait to see this pop up as a fresh build sometime.

Nothing beats an original. Always amuses me when modern builders copy this design and pass it off as the latest creation in bicycle high fashion.

We need pictures 😱

Nice 😎

😱😱😱 This wont last long. Splash ano, original wacky paint and a great spec. Did you get a factory BOI fork with it too ?

This gives an idea of serials, only one 93 WL on the list though. http://mombatbicycles.com/MOMBAT/BikeHistoryPages/Fat_Chance.html Mine is a 94 X serial and maybe an ex FCC staff bike according to our resident legend IROBOT.

Wicked Lites are pretty rare. I hope you still have the original unicrown fork. I ride my 94 WL a lot. Such a comfortable great handling steel classic.

There you go - https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/fat-city-cycles-yo-eddy-fork-vs-boi-big-one-inch-my-forks.86330/ OEM original BOI forks are very rare and make $$$s when they come up for sale every few years. Yo forks are more common and fit 92 and earlier Yos which are NOT suspension...

You can stick modern 2.3 tyres on there but some models might need a bit of side tread trimming with a sharp blade.

What happened OP ? If I didn't have a WL already id have dropped on the one above in a heartbeat. Very rare bikes and so comfortable to ride. Here’s mine as it was built up by the previous German owner.

Beautiful. Is this a Prestige tubing or Reynolds tubing type ? ( im thinking mid 80s = 531) If its Prestige and you ever want to pass it on Zooka, il gladly take it off you ✍🏻

Love the colour of that 🙄

I keep saying it, your retromod Yo is a game changer build.I always find it amusing when you see the latest hipster street bikes, fitted with FCC original design segmented forks.I have a few BOI originals and love them 😎 They are works of art and keepers for sure.

If you can find one fit a Morati Ti fork to it, the ride can only be described as incredible. Works perfectly with the geometry too. I have pretty much all Ti on mine, Moots Ti risers, Ti stem & a Salsa Ti seatpost. It weighs 20lb in m/l and has plenty of natural shock adsorption over rough ground.

Lovely resto mod 😎

I saw this recent post by Ari Emmett of Dean Ti frame fame, mentioning ‘issues’ with First Pass welds. Just wondered what your thoughts are on this Scott B. It goes without saying im a huge First Pass weld Ti FAT frame fan and the frames seem to be bullet proof and im no lightweight rider...

I have never seen this recent pic up decal before. Can anybody enlighten me as to when they were first used and on which models please ? :confused:

Not mine alas but this beauty deserves to be snagged by a Cog. Wish it could be mine but i just have too many bikes... https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F163862371488

Spec as follows - - Restored back to original Team Lavender colour - Conversion brazon boss for a V brake on the rear. - New v brake levers fitted specifically designed for small hands - Original XT V brake levers are also included which do ‘both’ V and canti brakes (useful option) - New...

Pretty cool to read this. :cool: Anybody have any more intel on this ?
