The fork on the Monster is one of Rody's (Groovy) Ho Down forks. I got it thinking I would use it to rebuild the (now) black Yo, but then the Monster sort of screamed for it, and I found a Yo fork in the original Kandy Wild Cherry color.

I'm going to go back and tweak the exposure and re-up the first set of pics, but alas, now I am moved out of my house. Most of junk is in storage for a couple months, but the bikes came with me to the office :)

I Love it! This photo brings back the excitment of the crazy bright paint jobs that were coming out of Sommerville back in the day. I'll have to do the same with my Fat Collection and post it! I've got 6 of them but only 3 are built. Too bad you are not moving to Marin County; we could start a local Fat Chance gathering! Jon
