And I must say it is looking really nice

Details

The Fat is still at the prototype stage. We have slightly redesigned it and we are working on the next prototypes. It should be available by this summer. The trick about the Fat Daddy are its 2 lower link locations. There is a Freeride and a DH one. Combined with the 3 possible shock positions it leads to:
FR: 120-140-160mm
DH: 160-180-205mm

Shock lenght: 222mm long
Headtube size: probably 1.5", convertable to 1.1/8, of course.
Chainstay: Adjustable, 410 to 450mm
Like our other models, the frame will come in 2 sizes.
Weight: 4450g without shock

Oooops I forgot the picture

 

[ChrisRobin]

Any drawings on napkins you can show us??

 

[Cwilly006]

Do you see the picture

 

[GizmoInc]

looks like a vpp design, how do you avoid the patent they have?

 

[Cwilly006]

I was wondering the same thing

 

[zedro]

looks like a vpp design, how do you avoid the patent they have?

by selling it anywhere but the US, which exactly is what's gonna happen.

there was a thread on this on mtbr, where the 24 guys chimed in (or someone posted an email or something).

 

[cove rider]

does anybody know what the estimated cost will be?

 

[Cwilly006]

On their site they said it wasnt determined yet

 

[cove rider]

cant wait till its out

 

[Duzitall]

Let's see...what did I say last month in a thread about this frame...hum...

Oh ya, "head angle looks too steep" and then Zedro said something mean to me

 

[ChrisRobin]

Do you see the picture

hey peckerhead, my post went up before his pic did.

 

[ChrisRobin]

And yeah, the frame looks cool...non replaceable der. hanger???

 

[cove rider]

must mean they trust its strong enough so you wont have to replace it eh

 

[atb]

i think i just found a replace ment for my giant dh team. how small well the smaller frame size be.

 

[ohio]

That is the ugliest bike I have seen in a long time. It looks like it was put together with tin roofing scrap. God, I hope it's a prototype.

 

[TheInedibleHulk]

Wow the upright sections of the rear triangle are pretty spartan. I dont think the bike looks too bad, the spider web look is a little odd though. The biggest problem is right in the name of the company... 24" inch wheels

 

[manhattanprjkt83]

does anybody know what the estimated cost will be?

about a gagillionbillion british pounds, there frames are so $$$ im guessing it will be more than the intense VPX.

 

[Sir_Crackien]

actually you can run a 24" or a 26" on most 24 bikes. if you look at the frame there are 2 locations for the rear triangle. i assume thats for an adj for running 24" wheels. also its setup for 26ers right now in the pic

 

[DHS]

i remember we discussing this about a month ago. Santa Cruz said something about NO to 24 bikes. they made it without permission, and was just hoping to bring it to the states. don't think its gonna happen.

 

[T0mo]

hey peckerhead, my post went up before his pic did.

I haven't heard "peckerhead" in a while.
Check the times dude.

 

[mack]

Man, i wouldnt buy that bike.

No thru axle or replacable hanger

Ugly

24 le dude

Slimey way of going around patents of other companies.

And looks flexy

 

[zedro]

Slimey way of going around patents of other companies.

how is being from a country that doesnt recognize the patents slimey? i guess Norco's been slimey all those years not paying the FSR license in canada

 

[zedro]

i'm sorry ....





but you probably said something silly lol

 

[Duzitall]

you probably said something silly lol

Usually ... definately that time

 

[CreeP]

Ohio, sometimes i hope you're a prototype

It's not that odd looking - what's odd looking is the demo 9!!!!! ! !

Is everybody clear on the vpp issue as regarding this frame? So we can stop going over it all the time?

 

[CreeP]

oh, and 24" wheel haters can bite me. you know, just as a matter or record, so we don't have to keep going over that too.

good night all /waves and nods off…

 

[Rik]

As much as I like the idea of adjustability and built-in versatility, I can't help but think that giving all these frame/shock options is a way of making up for a lacking design.
If a bike rode so well due to its design in a longer travel setting, why would you need to drop back to a shorter travel setting?

 

[bullcrew]

Great looking frame, tough as hell looking. Can't wait to see one built up.

 

[ChrisRobin]

I haven't heard "peckerhead" in a while.
Check the times dude.

Regardless, I wouldn't have put a post like that if I didn't see pics.

Actually my picture went up at 8:17 and your post was at 8:18 so you called me apeckerhead on false pretenses HA

Sorry about that bro, I didn't look carefully enough to realize it was you asking if I saw the pic. I thought it was someone else being smart with me otherwise I wouldn't of said anything.

It was weird because I didn't see a picture when my post went up asking if you had a pic. When I checked the thread later on during the day, that was when I saw your pic up ahead of my post! I thought that was strange.

 

[Cwilly006]

Its fine I was just joking around and my picture probably went up when you were writin your post

 

[lovebunny]

who cares bout the bike. what about that guys sick vest!?

 

[Cwilly006]

OOOOH I want the vest more than the bike
