I have a Fat Chance Yo Eddy model.
Can a suspension fork be retrofitted to this frame? |

I had a Mass '93 Yo with a Judy SL and it handled beautifully. Keep the travel below 80mm and you'll be fine. The hard part now is finding a 1" steerer tube on a short travel fork.
I think someone has said before that Manitou may still do one. I don't recall off the top of my head.

Using my incredibly amazing powers of deduction, a '93 Yo would not be suspension corrected?

Did the Titanium have suspension corrected geometry from 94 on as well? My first Yo Eddy (91) came with a BOI, but as soon as I laid eyes on the fabulous MANITOU 3, the BOI had to go into the closet. And there it stayed until last fall, whan it was sold to a fellow FATCOG. Now I regret the sale, miss the YO (stolen 93) and the M3 and wonder if I should get a supension corrected TI BOI replica for the TIFAT. Blargh.

What is a bit strange is that the forks you sold seems to be suspension corrected. I have compared these against my '91 and '92 model and the two forks you sold are in fact a tiny bit longer than mine. This is a bit strange as the black fork you had is a '91 and should not be suspension corrected..... BTW: The Ti did come with a steel BOI not a Ti BOI. However, I have checked with Chis Igleheart and he said he had never made one in Ti but would love to do it....but those are expensive....
