a: a classic Fat Chance Yo Eddy restored by Rody at Groovy My Fat Chance and I have been through 18 years together. That's through 2 paint jobs and 3 cross-country moves. I put up a retrospective website about her: http://fatchanceyoeddy.com/ After putting up the site, I realized that it...

Hey all, I created a photo sharing group called "Fat City Cycles" on Flickr. (http://www.flickr.com/groups/527719@N23/) I found lots of Fat Chance photos on Flickr, but the group is cool because it collects all contributed photos, and you can watch all the photos as a slideshow. So, it's...

A sweet looking lavender/yellow... no bidders yet at $1k, however, it doesn't have the rigid forks and the year of MFG is not clear: http://cgi.ebay.com/Fat-chance-yo-eddy-team-nountain-bike-w-shimano-xt_W0QQitemZ110171492908QQihZ001QQcategoryZ98083QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Morgan

Hey, gang, I finally got my '91 Yo about finished. This is a mini-review of the project. It's been a long, challenging project, for both Rody and I. Rody did all the work. I sent the Yo to him last November with a rusted out seat tube. He replaced the tube, repainted the bike, built new...

Hey all, I have a dillemna with my Yo build. This is a '91 Yo, which to my knowledge isn't suspension corrected (and has 1" steerer). Rody is building me rigid forks, but I'm not sure I can handle rigid forks for an upcoming 140 mile offroad ride. I think I need some kind of suspension for...

Hey all, I've been anxiously awaiting restoration of my '91 Yo, being done by Rody/Groovy Cycle Works. Among other things, the bike had a rusted out seat tube that he replaced, and was missing her original forks. See the "before" pictures here. Today I got the pix. I think the bike looks...

Hey all, I'm looking for a Rock Shox Mag 20/21 with 1" threaded steerer to pair with my Yo Eddy. Rody is building me up a nice new rigid fork for the bike, but I think I'll need to swap in some suspension for really long endurance rides. So if you're wanting to get rid of that old Rock Shox...

Heads up, a '98 Yo! just got posted on Ebay. It's listed in some weird categories, so I thought I'd let the group know, else it might have been overlooked. It looks like a nice ride, but he doesn't say what the frame size is. Morgan

Here it is on Ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/Big-One-Inch-Fork-Leg-Bottle-Opener-FAT-CHANCE-YO-EDDY_W0QQitemZ260057372899QQihZ016QQcategoryZ50133QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD10VQQcmdZViewItem Your chance to own a "piece" of a Yo Eddy fork. I just hope that this was done because the fork was crashed...

It was a bad day :skull: . I was so excited about putting my '92 Yo Eddy back together towards its original condition. And then, today when cleaning it, I noticed a bubble in the paint on the bottom rear of the seat tube. I prodded around with a screwdriver - and it went through - about 1/4"...
