I believe badhoopy has a couple, though not from this auction. Review his collection and posts you won't be dissapointed.

I have a hardly used one that needs a resto. I think you might be waiting a long time with that on your list. Even Santa will have a hard time finding that one.
I am not here cause I am playing photographer and on my mountain bike.

If you can get them to make you one you will have done better than a number of other members. I live quite close and have called in to see them on a number of occasions but seem unable to convince them to re produce these chassis, even if they did they are now talking in excess of $200 before shipping and no nose plates :cry: .
Experience is that marvelous thing that enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

Didn't someone else make one or have one made by them? Wasn't it atomic_carbon or someone? (I forget their name properly)...

Atomic-Carbon and Fibre-Lyte are the same company. They once thought about making those chassies again but the nose plate was too hefty to produce...

Here is mine, still NIP 8)

Hi Asso_man

Is that chassis from Fibrelyte or ComCom ?
Because ComCom was a german company that made Tub chassis for almost all makes at the time.
