![]() ![]() The bike is almost finished, I'm waiting for blue grips (ODI or Yeti) and also I'm still looking for Michelin Wildgripper in 2.1 width. As already mentioned I want no colored parts as Ringle on this bike (for riding you always have to fall back on the old rated parts such xt, suntour, campa). I thrown away the original plan to go with suntour xc pro, now are xt 720 and I'm happy ![]() There are also two other bikes (Merlin, Ritchey) which are waiting to get ready, so I've rebuilt a couple of my bikes. The result is two beautiful YO Eddys, Grello and Aqufade with parts that I like. Grello now with full XTR M900 series ![]() ![]() And Aqua Fade with XT 732 series ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ...unfortunately no right weather for biking ![]() Last edited by nader; July 9th, 2018 at 12:18 PM. |

Awesome build. Saddle should be black. Enough colors in the frame.

I enjoyed this thread as much as your others. I have learned not to say what I like or don't like of your builds since it will probably change a few times before the end of the week. Another nice build.

Super nice!
I'll agree with some of the others and say the frame can do its own talking color-wise. Black grips and saddles would be sano.

Hi Nader,
has become a real beauty, the Yo Eddy. Perfectly matched Syncros parts. Now the bike must only be moved appropriately. I wonder, however, what comes next from you. Wish you a lot of fun with your Yo Eddy Many greetings towards Hamburg Helmut |

Aqua Fade has to be my all time favorite Yo Eddy paint scheme. Fantastic build!

This is indeed a stunning bike ! My wife Hannah owned an aqua fade yo. We both wish she never sold it.
I think yours looks much better with the black saddle. The blue was too tacky and bright. Now with black it looks very smart ! Where are the decals from. Are they from the guy in Scotland? And di you clear coat over them ? |
