well I would say by fate!
![]() I was two weeks ago work-related in Switzerland. A colleague came one morning with this bike to work, he had no idea of FAT Chance and complained about the bike and said it was for him a lot of sports and uncomfortable and he would need some suspension. Well what should I say, the opportunity was unique, so I have made him a proposal that he couldn't refuse ![]() I let the bike build apart in a shop in Zürich and took home only the frameset. It's in top condition. ..but there is something special in this YO eddy, you see that? ![]() |

Hi Nader,
congratulations to this stroke of luck. Look here my Yo Eddy in glossy black. Back then with a massive Syncros stem. Meanwhile, I have replaced the Shimano crank for a Syncros crank. The Syncros stem was replaced by a black salsa. I'm curious about your built. The Crank Bros cranks looks ever promising best regards Helmut ![]() |

Helmut, ich grüße dich aus dem Norden ...and of course I know your beautiful black Yo Eddy.
I would build mine with silver & black parts of Shimano only as hubs could I imagine the big white Industries Phantoms ![]() ..but right now I am looking for a matching stem. Last edited by nader; July 30th, 2012 at 9:37 AM. |

![]() ...would that be the Cooks Bros Cranks? The bike is geourgeous! It must be about a '97? I have a glossy black '98 M/L that is my everyday rider; the only difference is mine is much more beat up but has the rear brake running down the non-drive side and no brake bridge (set up for V-brakes). ![]()

no, not the Cook Bros! the special something is just the fork, it's a big one inch.
I always thought the YO fork would be nicer but the BOI is really even more beautiful ![]() SN= YO ML 069 ...the last owner had bought it 96 (so he told me ![]() ![]() |

BOI has smaller diameter legs and it's taller. Your Yo is corrected for 2in susp mag 21 and manitous. Both BOI and Yo have a different rake than the usual unicrown 26in mtb fork.

Correct vintage would be xt 737 ... but i like myself your derr. better.
otoh i don't get ultra low bars on Fats. I just find i can throw them around better when i raise my 10º stems.

nice frame and fork...not so in love with your part choices -- but it's not mine, and my opinion really doesn't matter.
I bet you it will ride stellar either way Its so tough to put cool parts on a mid to late 90s bike there's always a temptation to put old shimano stuff on...(mainly because it works and is affordable, and easy to get) I think the bike would look nice with silver RINGLE STUFF (stem, seatpost, hubs, QR's,) and Grafton crank with Speed controller brakes, maybe some paul brakes The White industry hubs are too cool too. I think you should sell that kick a$$ early 90s crank to me...nudge nudge wink wink |

It's one of those bikes, I would consider going "all in" to find some interesting parts.
Mavic stuff tasty too |

The XT 735 stuff fit almost any bike if you don't pay attention to vintage. The White industry hubs with silver ti-ringle QR's would be a very good alternative, if I could find them and above all must be payable, otherwise first XT hubs are used. Thanks mate but I have found a NOS front derailleur (only the seller needs a lot of time to send it) |

my XT-735 parts are now complete.
![]() ![]() ![]() I think the combination of thumbies and Ritchey levers looks good on a silver Tioga bar (without a label) ![]() Now I'm just waiting on a silver headset ..then I can try it. ![]() Last edited by nader; July 23rd, 2012 at 10:41 AM. |

bad.ass.bike. (i would go w/a Ti handlebar. it would look good and work even better. a Merlin Ti handlebar)
really.. best Yo eddy i have ever seen. The salsa stem nailed the build... PS: black slr plus xt brake levers would kill it. look better and give better power than Ritchey.

The black and yellow would be a bit of a throwback! But I love the black scheme. The first repaint of my Wicked was all black with no decals - urban camoflauge. Too many employee bikes were getting ripped off so it was better if nobody knew what it was when I was out on the trails around the suburbs. Beautiful bike!

I LOVE THIS BUILD! I have a murdered-out Geekhouse Mudville. Aaaaalllll (mostly) black. Always thought the blacker the better builds were super cool
![]() Go with the WI Phantom - in black of course. Made in the USA just like the Fatty! Black rims too... |
