It's been a few years since I discovered that the cheap Chinese bearings from bearingsdirect.com were the only ones I could get to replace the NTNs in the BB. Looks like they still have them - but have mysteriously added a 4 to the beginning of the code...

Looking for a black 28.6 Paul front derailleur. Anyone?

My annual call for any Fat in XL, 21, 23... What do you have that needs a good home?

This arrived at Velo-orange today. Looks pretty slick if you're going with newer lo-pro cranks. http://velo-orange.blogspot.com/2009/07/new-threadless-bb.html

The PPG paint codes everyone has always wondered about: http://groovycycleworks.blogspot.com/2009/04/happy-200th-post.html

I must admit that my eyebrows went up a bit when I read his post today. The "as easy to find as 1" threaded suspension forks" bit gave me a bit of pause. Dude feels the pain. Anybody else a regular RTMS reader? Best. blog. ever. ATMO.

I'd like to pass on this project to someone else with more time, space and energy. It's an old Team Comp frame (serial number 024C09) that has been modified with horizontal dropouts. Plugs were machined to create that pointed-stay Fat Chance look, and the track ends were inserted - that part's...

23' or XL Fat wanted. What do you have taking up space?

Inevitably, a thorough search would probably dig up a few gems, but I'd love to see a thread all on it's own for what seems to me to be the Holy Grail of Fat Chances - the big ones. In all my years of lurking here and checking ebay for Fats (as well as working in a shop that sold more Fats in...

There's a nice green Wicked on ebay right now. Anyone from the forum?

I've been using a Mavic BB for ages in my Fat singlespeed because of an ill-advised - and beer soaked - attempt at threading the shell. It's a really smooth, adjustable and super solid alternative; mine's going on 10 years of use without servicing. The thing is, you're supposed to chamfer the...

Selling my IF SS Deluxe Disc-only EBB Frame and IF rigid fork tonight on eBay and thought I'd see if anyone on the list was interested today. Frame: Steel w/sterling headbadge. ST 48.3cm TT 62.2cm HT 12.5cm HT above TT 1cm Chainstay 42.5cm With 80mm fork: Wheelbase 109.3cm, SO 81.4, trail...

Anybody got a nice 1 inch 150mm (or more) stem lying around taking up space? PM me.

I have an extra set (4) of new cartridge bearings that fit Sansin hubs. These came stock on a bunch of Fat build kits starting in the late 80's. I also have a set of BB bearings with clips. Brand new. PM me for details and with offers. Crunch no more!

Any nominations? Who's currently making the bikes that will inspire a similar following in a decade?

Just thought I'd ask around... Anybody got a nice 32 hole silver front hub they aren't using anymore? A King, Phil, Paul, real WTB (if you don't know what I mean, thanks but no thanks), Campy O/R... Something along those lines. PM me or reply with an asking price. Many thanks!

One of my registry listed project bikes for sale. It's really nice and a super ride. http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7243780099

OK - there have been several one-off emails about this, but I'd like to see a Family Tree thread on the board. I'd like to see which current and past bicycle companies have a Fat connection. I'll start: Witcomb USA > Chris Chance > Fat Chance > Merlin and Seven (Helfrich)> One-Off...
