About this product
This is a vintage 1988 Fat Chance TRIALS MTB, featuring a rare steel single-speed frame with Phil Hubs. It's designed as a mountain bike, specifically for trials, with a unique 26"/24" wheel size combination. The bike has no suspension and uses cantilever brakes. Its blue steel frame is in a medium size, originating from the United States.
Our take
If you're a collector or enthusiast of vintage mountain bikes, this 1988 Fat Chance TRIALS MTB is quite a find. The steel frame offers that classic, durable ride quality, and the 'RARE!' designation, coupled with Phil Hubs, suggests it's a sought-after piece. The 26"/24" wheel setup is definitely unique for trials riding, offering different handling characteristics. However, as a no-suspension, single-speed, cantilever brake bike from 1988, it's certainly not for everyone. It's a niche item for those who appreciate its specific vintage design and trials capabilities, rather than a modern trail rider.
