    Monster 4Sale... Offut AFB

    Too small for me.. nice bike... I have yet to find a Fat Chance XL size.. never a stock item I suppose.. I always rode too small 18 and 19" Fats over the years as my aching back can attest to. Thankfully, I landed a 20.5" Merlin which is such a great bike that I almost don't miss my Yo Eddy...

    Fat Chance (made in Taiwan)

    Makes you wonder if paying $1000+ for the novelty of owning a 10+ yr old Yo Eddy frame makes any sense when you can get a Chinese knock off brand new for $249... JensonUSA is selling a 4130 steel frame w nearly identical geometry, tubing and weight of the Yo Eddy for $249... Hmmnnn...

    We are Fat Cogs

    Hello All.... For all you Fat Maniacs... I just stumbled accross a 1994 "We are Fat Cogs" 12-pg color brochure from when I purchased my recently departed Yo Eddy.

    Yo Eddy Frame

    I am seeking Fat Cogs expertise and insights... I am finally getting around to breaking down my Yo Eddy and plan to sell the frame and fork and keep the rest of the parts as spares for my Merlin. Do you think its appealing to most potential Fat Chance buyers to include the Chris King headset...

    Merlin = Ti Yo Eddy

    Hello All, I recently read a quote from Gary Helfrich that "the Merlin is essentially a Ti Yo Eddy"; therefore I am comfortable asking this question on FatCogs; I just bought a used Merlin to replace my too small Yo Eddy. It came with a Rock Shox SID w no shock pump. Looks like it uses...

    Somerville MA versus Saratoga NY

    I am curious if Fat Cogs value the later era NY made frames less than the earlier MA frames. I would imagine so for many reasons... just curious, I am still trying to find a L or XL frame and trying to figure a reasonable purchase price as they come along.. i personally really don't care too...

    frame size

    Any thoughts on how to properly measure a Fat Chance Yo Eddy. I have M/L and not sure how to measure the seat tube length correctly... If I measure the length of tube from center of bottom bracket to end of the seat tube I get 19 inches.. is this correct? Also, I get 23" for the entire length...
