1994 YO EDDY aquafade

Defiant · September 6th, 2008, 5:43 PM

Hi Guys,

bought a Yo Eddy Team Fat Chance 1992 Aquafade today.
I do not have any good pictures yet but when i have i will post them.
It is a frame set with colour matched RS Judy's, original paintjob,..nice condition,..
Hope to receive it next week,..

The buildup will take some because i have several other retro projects running.

Defiant · September 6th, 2008, 5:54 PM

These are the pictures form the seller

Yo Eddy! · September 7th, 2008, 4:36 AM

Very nice Bas. Now you finally can pretend you are me. Racing

Only don't understand why it is still listed on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=160278101085

Defiant · September 7th, 2008, 8:27 AM

hahahah,..yes melvin ,..being you was the goal in my life!

i know about the ebay listing,..he is just not that fast,..i allready paid for the bike,...

ps,..i now look at the ebay add,...is is more then i paid for,...well ,..his bad,..

Yo Eddy! · September 7th, 2008, 9:40 AM

So that is not so kind/fair by the seller. Aren't you affraid the seattube is rusted trough now? Considering the sellers track record

Btw Defiant, I do not know of Judys that came original with painted crown. Unless it is prooven I am wrong I would polish the crown up.

Defiant · September 7th, 2008, 10:06 AM

Hi Mel,

this is the frame which used to be from Dr S (Si) , i spoke to him about the state of the frame,..and he is also the one who painted the Judy's,..
He assured me that it is een great condition and there is no rust.

i just sah that the auction ended at 500 pounds,..i have no idea how the seller is going to solve that with the ebay buyer but i had the deal and payment made yesterday, he should have withdrawn the frame from ebay at that moment.

Yo Eddy! · September 7th, 2008, 11:04 AM

From Retrobike I understand he has two. So you get the rusted one?

(Kidding, never read one of the 2 shows rust) You know he has two?

Defiant · September 7th, 2008, 11:09 AM

i have in writing that the one i am buying is the one mentioned in the ebay add

i make copies of all my transactions

Yo Eddy! · September 7th, 2008, 11:56 AM

Cool, I see you live near Presto.

Than we will have one crying German I suppose. Too bad.

Defiant · September 7th, 2008, 12:00 PM

Presto is 5 minutes with the bike,..
I went there with the Serotta last week,..they freaked out ! hahaha

misterdangerpants · September 7th, 2008, 4:34 PM

nice! love seeing other S/M frames.

fattyboombatty · September 9th, 2008, 8:43 PM

That used to be my bike about 3 owners ago! Ha ha! Wish it was a medium...I'd still have it!
Hope you enjoy it. Great looking frame. Also, if you smell the seat tube it will wreak of Frame Saver. The guy I bought it from on ebay says he kept some in there and I added more for good measure.

Defiant · October 17th, 2008, 3:37 PM

Still do not know which path to go with the parts

Do not want to the "easy everybody does it" blue/green Ringle build so the wheels and seatpost will go,..
Have some Paul parts available but do not want to copy the Serotta
We will see,..

mainlyfats · October 17th, 2008, 9:27 PM

You seem to like a challenge, so I vote a White Industries/IRD build. WI crank, BB, Hubs, Derailleurs (did they make a front? If not, how about a Joe's?), Shifters and IRD Post, Bar/Stem and Brakes.

Some NOS Sun rims, a no name Chris King, Gen 1 SPDs, a Flite and some Tech Lite Levers and you're done.

Either that or full Mavic. Full Mavic would rock.

It's kind of great just the way it is though.

colker · October 18th, 2008, 6:17 AM

take the rigid fork back in, whatever rocks your boat shifting up front and GO!

that bike is awesome.

Defiant · October 18th, 2008, 2:47 PM

The rigid fork is back in,..the top foto in the last post was the current build.
Tomorrow i am going to get the restored Syncros Rev Cranks, a Black Syncros seatpost is on it's way.
Looks like it is going to be a Syncros build for now,..but only for the time being.
I have ordered a Bar/Stem combo in the Aquafade green colour with Rody from Groovy and the mechs will be camapgnolo for now,..with XT thumbies....

I think will take a long time before i find the parts i really want,..but i am not in a rush,..The Serotta took a long time aswell

yo' djblu · October 19th, 2008, 7:01 PM

Green is NOT an easy build. I am waiting forever to find a green stem and seatpost. grrrrr

what i mean is that it is a easy way to go for,..not that the parts are easy to find

yo' djblu · October 20th, 2008, 9:18 PM

that pic of it stripped really shows how beautiful that paint its. Nice rigid fork too. Love the paint match.
if you want to unload the fork that came with Let me know.

Defiant · October 26th, 2008, 6:51 PM

few more pictures

not so happy with the grey tyres

The XT Thumbies

Syncros cranks on the Syncros Ti BB

Defiant · November 11th, 2008, 6:19 PM

trying some parts out to see what it looks like

yo' djblu · November 12th, 2008, 1:14 PM

GREEN TIRES GREEN TIRES

i love how they look they give that lightness teh grey have but the colour is a great match. Wild gripper, easy to find on ebay.

Defiant · November 13th, 2008, 2:51 AM

hmm,...green tires,...
That is not something i have thought about ,..but maybe you have something there.
I know a set for sale at the LBS,..i will have a look and see if the colour matches,..
Keep you informed!

Defiant · November 14th, 2008, 4:13 PM

received a NOS Syncros seatpost today,...

Defiant · December 2nd, 2008, 5:40 PM

update,..nothing much

http://old-metal.blogspot.com/2008/1...ce-update.html

Defiant · December 16th, 2008, 1:59 PM

Add-ons;
-NOS Shimano DX mechs
-NOS Tioga Psycho
-Tioga Disc Drive

thrashin · January 3rd, 2009, 8:39 AM

absolutely beautiful, I would kill for that tioga disc

been working on my 93 YO build for a while now, but after getting laid off 2 months ago i had to let it sit. at least I can still come here to see what others are working on since mine is on hold

still need a 29.4 or 27.2 syncros post 440mm in black if anyone has an extra

colker · January 3rd, 2009, 10:37 AM

nice... but the idea of taking a disc wheel to east coast type woods riding would never occur to me.

I life in Amsterdam so i do not have that problem

and this bike i build to be retro and not to be competitive

but thanks for the compliments from all of you

Defiant · January 27th, 2009, 6:43 PM

I guess you all get tired of me but again a changed the Yo,..

what do you do when you are at home with the flu

i wasn't satisfied with the look although i said i was going to keep it like this

but ,..... :roll: ,....... i had to change it again,...

replaced the Flit by another Flite Titanium but now period correct

New Chris King wheels with DT spokes and Mavic X517 ceramic rims

and put some Ti on

misterdangerpants · January 27th, 2009, 7:22 PM

you should get sick more often, it looks great!

dig this version much more, especially the wheels.

colker · January 28th, 2009, 8:09 AM

now it's perfect. i would have a 1cm shorter stem...but that's a fit issue. that bike is my size.
