So today Santa came early, as the 1993 Yo Eddy F & F I bought from a guy on Fat Cogs finally arrived - once I'd paid the 25% import tax/ransome.

Here's the original thread

http://www.fatcogs.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4188

I threw some parts I had on an old Tucker (Easton) frame on it, just so it would look a bit more like a bike, So;

Hope Ti-glide rear/Mavic rim
Hope Fatso front/Mavic rims
USE seat post and a knackered original Flite
Syncros Cattleprod stem
X-lite bar and bar-ends

Awaiting a Cook Bros. cbr craknkset and a new issue Flite, need to sort new cables etc all round, plus get a black front brake cable hanger (anyone got a decent one they don't need?), swap over the brakes (90's Grafton copies) and XT rear mech.

Apart from that she's ready to rock!

First drooled over a Yo Eddy when I was 19, same year as my youngest daughter was born, and now I'm 50 and soon to be a grandad!

As they say in the old film clip in the Carlsberg advert - well worth waiting for!

Like the colour, 25% import tax bleeding heck that's crazy, great bike tho as said worth waiting for

I've got a Syncros hang doggy, it's 1" and lost it's noodle but a bake cable outer capped end will slot in fine and stay in place or you can use a short 90degree V brake noodle.

PM me if interested.

TEAM VIOLET!!!!! Oh my......!

Re:

Now that is a beautiful thing

Finally got 99% of my Eddy done. Still need some proper off-road tyres, still not sure if I will go all-black or retro there. Also undecided whether to go with a Syncros black seatpost or not, as I don't have a Syncros crankset, but do have a stem.
The stem itself needs to be shorter, probabbly 135mm, so I am on the lookout for a 1"/135mm reach with noodle.
I've ordered some spacers and chainring bolts so I can set up the granny properly - at the moment I can only use outer and middle rings. Also a repro Ringle QR nut on order, as I lost one ages ago.

Loving the stiff ride when climbing Just gonna have to rediscover my flow over stones and roots after years on Suspension fork and FS bikes...

Build is as follows so far;

- S/M Yo Eddy frame & Orig Fork. Repainted by D&D cycles in San Lorenzo CA, original Fat City decals
Photo's don't do the paintjob justice, as you can't see the pearl clearcote
- Hope hubs (Ti-Glide/Fatso), DT butted spokes, Mavic 230 SBP rims, Ringlé QRs
- Cook Bro's (CBR?) Chainset, Shimano rings, SPDs
- Syncros Cattleprod stem
- X-Lite Ti bars
- X-Lite barends and plugs
- USE seatpost & shim, Sella Italia Flite 1900 seat
- XT f & r shifter
- LX rapidfire brake/shifter levers
- No-name Grafton style canti's - anyone recognize them?

Now out for another ride...

That is really nice, but those LX STI's are far too low-rent for this machine.

Re:

Thanks. The LX stuff is basically what was on my old bike, though they do have sentimental value, as I was given them by Terry Wright Cycles in '93, after a weeks work experience in their shop, before I left the RAF. Performed faultlessly ever since
