My first Fat Chance build!
It's taken a while because I live about 3,000 miles away from the frame and I had no idea how to attempt to complement the sublime Chameleon Metallica paint scheme.
Ironically, the camo green Ringlé hubs that finally clicked into place are still waiting to be laced to some rims, and an absence of a 1 1/8th canti-hanger means the front brake is a stand-in but since I want to ride something tomorrow, she's going out as is.
Missing bits
- front plate on the stem has yellow writing instead of grey
- need a canti hanger for front Control Tech brake
- wheels are temporary, although I like the look of the black Bullseyes so may forego the green hubs (which match the frame perfectly). The snowflake rear will go - it happened to have the right cassette
- I need a 31.8 front mech, top pull.
The details
Frame / fork: Fat Chance Yo Eddy Team
Wheels: (f) Matrix on Bullseye (r) Hope on Mavic 517 with Michelin Hi Lite Hot
Cranks: Cooks Bros.
Stem: Ringlé
Bars: Syncros
Brakes: (f) M952 (r) Control Tech rasta
Levers: Pauls
Shifter: XT thumbshifter (rear only)
Seatpost: Syncros
Mechs: (f) none (r) M900
Shocking quality photo below; taken in the dark in the garage. Hopefully more to follow tomorrow from a sunny maiden voyage!
