yes such a Flite I've been looking and recently discovered by chance on ebay.

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

it's finally done......for now.

Now it just needs to be dirty.

colker · March 21st, 2013, 1:14 PM

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

chefmiguel · March 21st, 2013, 2:53 PM

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.

tvcreative · March 21st, 2013, 7:48 PM

I like it...

I like the colors, not the grips so much...maybe blue ourys to match saddle

your resto's rock!

yo-Nate-y · March 21st, 2013, 8:02 PM

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.

afterbang · March 21st, 2013, 10:19 PM

That's a good looking stable you have there.

nader · March 22nd, 2013, 1:56 PM

Thanks alls for feedback

But mates why you do not like the saddle? I like it (I had to have something colorful)

The grips ...yes they are so crap but saw in the pics very well, where I bought them (they are just a temporary solution)

THIS is my dream bike

.....and I know we all love it

To see more go to THE LORD OF STEEL

nader · May 10th, 2013, 1:00 PM

A few small changes ... and I like it more and more

I've been waiting for such a cute stem a long time (it's just 10cm long)

The result is a sweet yo eddy in aqua fade

chefmiguel · May 10th, 2013, 1:13 PM

Looks better with the stem noodle instead of the clamp on

Mr.Grello · May 19th, 2013, 5:29 PM

That's the best FAT resto I've ever seen.

Thank you

Yes this is the best bike that I have. The restoration was truly worth it.

..and it rides wonderfully

Syborg · May 30th, 2013, 12:34 PM

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

TC · May 30th, 2013, 2:23 PM

Hi Nader what cables have you used?

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

DocChill · July 11th, 2013, 4:00 AM

@Nader
Hi,

Yes it's a very nice Yo Eddy ...true to the motto 'one of top bikes you've to see live before you die'

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 ?
