Fat Chance Team Comp 1990

Fat Chance's flagship model. Not sure how many of these exist, but they seem to be somewhat rare. I don't know how old this one is, but based on the parts it has on it, I'm guessing 1990ish. I think these forks look pretty cool.

Frame feels light and resilient with a nice ride. Kinda like a Bontrager Race Lite, but a little more laid back. Somewhere I remember hearing these were spec'ed with as many American components as possible. Here's the rundown:

That's the nicest Team Comp I've seen, very nice and the fork is just beautiful.
