I know its probably been done to death but I have to ask. I had a 1998 Yo Eddy in arrest me Red (YOL2151) and sold it a wee while back to a one post member on here. I know the bike back to front and it has recently gone up for sale again. If anyones interested PM me or email me and I`ll try and source the link.
Anyway, when i first had the bike I had an ideal size 80mm White Brothers fork on it (which was excellent) and near the end of my time with the FAT as my riding style changed to hardcore XC /freeride and even done 2 or 3 NPS downhill courses on it!.I was running a 120mm 2002 Rockshox Psylo Race which had been tuned by TF tuned Shox. To be honest it looked more like 140mm of travel when i got it back with the travel extended. I know this isn`t ideal but the bike OUTPERFORMED most full sussers on some of the technical trails I was riding and on singletrack it was like Skycycle from Starwars. It went like a magic carpet. It even looked fast sitting still.It looked great with 2.3 tyres and I genuinely regret selling it at times.
Do you guys think a an oldskool frame like this can handle a longer travel fork? (even though the frames geometry isn`t adjusted for one).
