The other side of my Jim Espey poster. Love all the details about how these awesome frames were made by yours truly amongst others. Its not all marketing baloney, people have no idea how much difference this makes to how a bike rides.

Love the writing style of that era.

My two poster variants. I have two Jim Espey ones. Hoping to pick up some of the others sometime. Any back stories on these would be interesting 🤷🏻‍♂️

The splash ano Ringle hubs and stem alone sell for a significant premium. The whole package is a killer deal that just needs a repro BOI to finish it off.

I miss my old 90s commute of 8 miles each way beside a canal, past a Zoo, narrow boats, beautiful houses, countryside etc

There is a member called Yaldie on the sister site Retrobike who had some ones made in the UK recently. Join and maybe hit him up for details.

The more funky the better 😱 This one is from a bike for sale now on the bay. Not mine btw. Also interesting to get a snapshot of the FCC talented artisans through the years, like those listed from 89 below.

I love a Harlequin FAT 😁

Matt’s paint job - https://fatcogs.com/threads/1997-chris-chance-harlequin.2732/ I like a sunset fade too. - https://fatcogs.com/threads/value-appreciating.13644/#post-38725

Always loved these and their bikes. Shame the new FAT operation doesn't make them as they look so choice.

Not a fan of this but nice rig.

Frikin love this Yo 🔥🔥🔥

Beautiful neat welds but no gussets like the oem ones. Maybe its an Igle repro, anyhow it looks well made.

Nice build and matching forks, just a bit of a refurb needed, a check for rust around the BB area and its smiles all around again.

I would say its a m/l which should suit someone 6.0-6’2” Seller also seems knowledgeable which means they are able to read/interpret the serial number correctly. I still get a buzz everytime I just look at them, let alone ride them. Absolute perfection which has not been surpassed after 30yrs...

I would buy this in heartbeat if I didnt already have one. Looks in amazing condition and has a rare evolution design with the 93 sleeved chainstays but not in the sleeved down tube, which changed in the variants after this.

Top is 94 Somerville made flawless perfection in large and the lower a 97 in m/l which is a softer but also amazing ride with the Morati Ti forks. I only found a tiny handful of Somerville made Ti frames in L, so good luck in the hunt and they are 100% as good as it gets imo. Mine are keepers...

Any pics of Your Yo of Yoof ? In truth finding high end period parts for a 90s bike is VERY expensive and a time consuming process. The pool of parts in good or NOS condition keeps getting smaller and competition for the ‘statement’ pieces like a cool stem, cranks or shifters is intense. Its...

F40s were being offloaded for £120K back in 2008/9 and a 250 GTO was as little as £5k back in the 70s. Top quality lasts, despite the recent giveaway ‘distress sales’ of these beauties. 🤔
