This frame was to have appeared on the cover of the 1989 Bicycle Guide buyer's guide but was switched to the black/white striped Fat at the last minute. The frame was supposed to be signed by anyone who entered the Fat shop on the day it was getting ready for it's clear coat. I will try and list the signatures below. If anyone can correct the spelling or tell me who they are, that would be great. Starting on the top tube and working around:
C. Chance: head man, Fat City Scott Bengtson: Welder
Hoss Rogers: Painter Bob Fulk: Racer
HLW III: (Harry Wallis) frame finisher, facing and prep
Daniel E. Denmen: Master machinist Alison Kuby: Shipping
Mike Pappaconstantine: creator of the "Yo Eddy" art work/racer
Matt Nemko: ? Bill Keating: Welder
Ron Andrews: racer and owner of King Cage
Rage Bunker: possible alias for Lloyd Graves
Clam Blake: possible alias for Dave Blakney, later became Goat Bike
Arthur Lawrence: Racer/tubing machinist
Reggie (Jackson): frame builder Christopher Igleheart: framebuilder
