My holy grail mountain bke

Found this local beauty several months ago from a fellow who bought it at an estate sale. He rode it a few times on short rides around his neighborhood before deciding that it wasn't what he wanted. It was then hung up in his house where it remained for 15+ years.

When I went to look at it I found a bike that had a covering of dust that almost totally obscured the name and model....Fat Chance Wicked. I asked if he was interested in selling the bike and he told me that he would have to think about it for awhile. Two weeks later I called him and he said that he would entertain an offer. We met and after some soul searching on his part, I bought myself a mountain bike.

​​​​​​After receiving a thorough cleaning, new cables and lubrication the bike is ready to ride.
