So a while back I sold my beloved Trek 970. A neighbor was going to take it to the dump as the seat post had rusted in. I fixed it up and rode it for years.
I bought a fancy full susp which was beautiful and precise and comfortable but just didn't have the feel of my old 970 steel. I sold it and started looking for a replacement 970 or 990 and started seeing these Fat Chance bikes here and there. I found a Yo eddy Med close to home for a good price and bit the bullet. Its in nice shape, better than expected with a mix of xt xtr syncros etc. I am guessing its a 95 or 96 from the serial which starts with yo M 290. If anyone could guess the year that would be great. I want to replace the bars because they are hipster fixie narrow . Also has a manatou answer 5 on it in nice cond. Any tips or suggestions appreciated and sorry for the long post. |

Spent time yesterday at a shop talking about fit and what I would need to do to make it work. Rather than bastardizing it I'm going to trade or sell for a better fit. Not sure to post here or CL or bay.

Post it in the "For Sale" section here first, you shouldn't have any trouble selling it.
