Fat Man Flyer
Mid-2000sA 26-inch tribute to the FMF and Race Inc — 25 built across the two styles.
The FMF and Race Inc were both out of production, both closed companies — so Supercross built the Fat Man Flyer, a 26-inch frame honoring each of them.
The Story
The run split across two styles — roughly 10 of one and 15 of the other, between the Race Inc style and the FMF style. Demand outran the welder, so some of these were built in Gary Turner's shop to keep up.
Every Fat Man Flyer ran an American bottom bracket, but was set up modern where it counted: 1-1/8" threadless head tube and V-brakes.
