Hi Ryan,

Of course it is 1" as the original Yo Eddy fork. I can't find any difference from the original fork. ;)

I'm not sure when they switched over on Yo's, but the first "Yo Eddy" forks used larger 1-1/8" blades, which were quite stout.

Somewhere along the line the Yo legs shrunk to 1". 10th Anniv. was the first appearance of the 1" blades in 1992 - the Yo's maybe went to 1" a few years after (between 93 and 94 according to MOMBAT).

Anyway, your fork looks very nice. I'm impressed with how he did the scallops at the bottom and those dropouts are neat. You going to paint it pink? That's be my vote.

sorry my mistake! :mad: the legs are of course 1 1/8" (like YO fork). Only the BOI forks have the 1" legs.

And I would prefer it in grellow colour (#7-0260) ;)

To get exactly the same grello colour, a white primer is used.
(but in white it looks also very good :D:rolleyes:)

no diecut-eddies?

I don't know what you mean, but I think no! :confused::D

So the painting is complete. I think we have produced exactly the same colour, probably
there is very little difference to frame colour but should not be visible.

Tomorrow will be still clear varnished.

yes I also think I bring it tomorrow to the shop.

I don't care about the painting (cause I know now which colour) but I could quite hurt when I hit it with a hammer. :mad:

I hate such a new thing, you're afraid to touch it!!

Didn't think it was possible but this bike got better and better as the thread moved along. Very nice job, the fork looks great.

...soon there will also be pictures with skinwalls ;)

I've changed a few things. The crank isn't now all black and the tit Onza pedals have been added.

I thought the procs are the most beautiful tires but these original and nos panaracer smoke & dart match properly! They look damn rustic :p:p
(thanks mate, that you've left me this wonderful tires)
