Hi dear fellow FatCogs members,
A while ago I took this pic of the Yo => ![]() I felt some chances had to be made. Most important being the V-brakes and the seat that positioned me too much to the front on the bike. The modifications made: went: red riser bar new: neon yellow True Temper 4130 bar went: XT V-brakes new: Crystal Design cantis, Grafton FatFinger cable carriers went: XT V-brake levers new: XC Pro brake levers went: Gripshift SRT600 new: XC Pro 8s thumbies went: Brooks Swift new: O2 with ti real went: 24 Oldschool pedals new: Suntour XC Pro GreaseGuard The XC Pro for the cockpit => ![]() F*ck off ![]() ![]() ![]() Old cables went, color stayed! I like color ![]() The Avocet O2 seat => ![]() I photographed the Yo together with another bike I made modification to, a Koga Miyata SkyExpension. More on the SkyExpension in the 'Retro MTB' section. ![]()

Hi Scott,
No, it is a Serotta I am sorry ![]() The cable carriers are Grafton Fat Fingers. I got them at a lbs. The lbs is in The Hague and they were the final ones, so I think that doesn't help much. Yo says thanks for the kind words

Nice mods Melvin! XC Pro just rocks. I know those fat fingers: I got a few at the same lbs years ago. Those bars match great too.
