I've had this 1990 Yo eddy frame for about a year. I bought it with no fork and a repaired chainstay. I managed to find a nice Judy 1" steerer tube & I have an older Judy XC fork. I know the frame is not suspension corrected geometry so am I making a big mistake by building it with a suspension fork?
Some additional thoughts:
I have a 1990 Fat Chance Team Comp with a rigid fork that I love but is a little tough to control on downhills when the terrain gets very rugged so i find myself slowing down alot. This bike is very light and quick to maneuver on the single track and it climbs like a billy goat Baaah! For about 25% of my typical ride I am wishing I had a suspension fork.
I have a 1993 Paramount OS with a Judy (w/ the England Air cartridge rebuild) and I absolutely love the way this bike handles when the terrain get's very rough, but this bike is pretty heavy and not nearly as nimble.
Anyone out there riding a non-suspension Yo! with a suspension fork? Any other thoughts on this? What are the big downsides to having the geometry off by adding a Judy SL to the front end of the Yo!?
Thanks,
Jon
