Just recently picked up a 1990 Wicked in great shape. When they talk about a magical feeling with fat city cycles, i now get it. It puts all my other steel bikes to shame. The balance and feel of the bike is unreal. He was a revolutionary figure in frame building.
had a wicked fat. someone stole it. bought a yo eddy, put all xtr and a manitou fork on it. loved it. stopped riding it for years. sold it to some guy on craigslist. he drove up from philidelphia in a snow storm. thought that was odd, then I checked online after. I sold it for too cheap!
Still got my Wicked Fat Chance I bought in 1989. The painter had quite the imagination with red, orange and magenta. Only complaint is the bottom bracket bearings. They are pressed in and do not last more than a year or two depending on how much I ride and if it is wet and/or muddy.. Would love to get a new Yo Eddy but my old back cannot handle a hard tail.
I have always thought of Fat City Cycles as a premium brand and have always coveted one. I'm so glad they are back! But I want a return of the Shock-a-Billy.
Hey Chris. I grew up in Somerville. My first mountain bike was a dyno. I thought it was the shit. Till I got on a fat chance. I had a problem with breaking bikes. Bein an active fat kid. Drops off of loading docks. Or ridin down the stairs of prospect hill.
I loved my Fat Chance. It still is my favorite bike I've ever owned. I rode my across the USA in 1985 and will be having a new one built shortly. In fact. my company The Dandy Horse, Inc. hopes to buy several of them and allow people to demo them along the Empire State Trail #empirestatetrail
how did i know my fat chance was a really good bike after years of riding it? my girlfriend at the time got on it and was riding around and said 'this bike feels really nice'. Full rigid setup keeping up with full sus bikes on some of the trails
I still have my old Fat City Wicked from 1992 that I bought brand new. Ride it almost every day and will never get rid of it. Thank you sir!!!

I still have my monster fat. it fits me like glove, and it's great on the trails.

I’ve got a Wicked Fat Chance. It came with a Ritchey fork, but it still rides.
I bought a Wicked from Chris Chance it was his secondary bike at the Quantico bike show and expo in Quantico Virginia.....
I love my 1982!
Awesome bikes and a stupendous man!
Very Cool Chris!

That seven speed rear cassette looks interesting, what make is it, Sachs-Aris? It's hard to tell.

i stll have my 1992 ALPINESTARS ALMEGA -DX
Super FRESH.......
Dents in stays are definitely a weak point. They don't handle twisting if hi low chainstays.
FAT CHANCE I could afford one...
