Re:
Oooh. I'd better put up a photo or two. I must get some better photos and I'll change them. But for now..
My 1997 ? Yo. I've only just pieced it back together since I replaced the broken downtube. It's a vauxhall viva colour btw...
And my 1990 yo I've owned/raced/now ssing since 93 and is still by far my favourite bike. It's made the perfect s/s too
...
Not got a photo but my wife hannah has a Bro eddy. Just been riding it today. Will get photos.

Re: Re:
Nice bikes. Especially love the disk version Yo I'm guessing you converted the rear frame to discs, as there are only a few factory ones but they were made at the end of the Fat City production run.

Re:
I never knew that Fat Chance made some with disc mounts. :shock: Cool. I bet they must be pretty rare though?
I added the disc mount back in 2006 and it has worked out really well. After replacing the downtube I decided to also remove the old canti bosses for a cleaner look. I decided against adding disc hose brackets to the top tube though because I dont have a gas set in my workshop and Im certainly not confident enough to try and tig the much thinner centre of the T/T. Hence the slightly ugly cable ties (although that centre cable tie happens to line up nicely with where the XTR brake lever hits the T/T
