@Golfbiker - I'm happy that you like the pics, thanks a lot
! Enclosed you'll find an extract of the well known Mountain Bike Action Magazine from 06/1994, showing the Fat City Cycles Crew:
Scott P. Bengtson (Chief Welder of FCC) commented this picture and gave some more informations about the crew of that time on fatcogs.com - successive you'll find what he wrote:
"OK - here's my best shot from left to right:
Some folks missing that I believe still worked there at the time of the photo shoot:
Not sure if Mike P. and Bob Fulk were still there or not when this was taken.
Enjoy,
Scott"
Have a nice day -
cheers, Daniel


Scott P. Bengtson (Chief Welder of FCC) commented this picture and gave some more informations about the crew of that time on fatcogs.com - successive you'll find what he wrote:
"OK - here's my best shot from left to right:
- Josh (Last Name? / in the Mavic hat) machinist, tool maker, engineering student;
- Mike Flanigan (kneeling), painter, founding member of IF, now owns ANT Bike and the coolest handlebar mustache in bicycling;
- Laurie Pinkham (immediate right of Josh) did some painting early on and then came on full time as production coordinator / supervisor;
- Ben (Last Name?) worked in finishing;
- Dark Hat turned backwards (not sure);
- Rob (Last Name? / arms folded with a big smile) sales & founder of Fat Cogs;
- Chris Chance (kneeling holding the bike) needs no introduction here;
- Frank (Last Name? / black kid with glasses, looking away) finishing - martial arts and great all-around athlete;
- Debbie Nadolney (dark shirt and scarf) shipping - a good friend - miss her a lot;
- Joe (Last Name?) blasting and painting;
- Sue Kirby (gray sweater and glasses, looking away) welder - worked for IF at start-up - best female welder I've ever known;
- Rob (Last Name? / partially obscured by Sue) machinist on the cover of "Live and Uncut" behind Rob with the hat (sorry, can't remember);
- Wendy "Wendyll" Behrend (white shirt and headband) needs no introduction here either;
- Yours truly Scott Bengtson - chief welder from November 1986 to October 1994 (kneeling in front of “Wendyll”, holding the welding mask);
- Reggie Jackson (black guy peeking out behind Wendy "Wendyll" Behrend), frame fitter and keeper of the serial number book - another good friend missed. Of all the people in this picture other than Chris and Wendyll, he was the longest tenured employee, then me!
- Lloyd Graves (two-tone hat and eyes closed), frame fitter, machinist originally worked at Schwinn in Mississippi, founding member of IF, now works at Seven Cycles;
- Guy on the end in the striped sweatshirt - I forget his name, he worked in sales;
Some folks missing that I believe still worked there at the time of the photo shoot:
- Christie Lawyer, sales - I believe she was the only one other than Chris and Wendyll to go to NY after Somerville closed;
- Gary Mathis, finishing and design - he did a lot of development on the Shock-á-Billy;
- Dave Blakeney, welder - founded Bomber Cycles, another good friend missed;
Not sure if Mike P. and Bob Fulk were still there or not when this was taken.
Enjoy,
Scott"
Have a nice day -
cheers, Daniel
