I was checking the CL late last night when I came upon a 2 hour old listing for a Fat Tire Electra. I figured, at the price the guy was asking, it would be a fruitless phone call. My wife and my son each ride an Electra, and I have been hoping to find one of my own. When I made the call, the owner said that I was the third caller about the bike. My heart sank, but I asked him anyway, "Do you still have it?" When he said, "Yes", I said, "I'll take it!!"
Since he lived only a half hour, we were there at 8:00 A.M. the next morning. When I saw it, I couldn't believe that the first callers had taken a pass on such a cool bike.
The owner told me that he had gotten the bike from a friend who had won it in a charity auction.
Does anyone know how many of these limited edition Fat Tire bikes are made each year?
I love the old bike patina paint job and the springer fork. All it lacks is a 3-speed internal rearend, but I can live with that.
The motto on the chain guard says it all for those of us with the cruiser affliction.
