Narrow bars and long stem builds from bitd were not ideal for long wheelies. Getting the balance point further back, wider riser bars, shorter stems and fat pedals and lots of practice is the order of the day.

The frame is made from Columbus MAX OR Nivacrom tubing and achieves stiffness by using non-round tubes with oval ends. The orientation of the oval changes to selectively apply stiffness where needed. For instance, the down tube has the major axis of the oval orientated vertically at the head...

Reminds me of the old one about …’along comes Luigi with his big fuxxing head’

Pretty sure these frames were made as a cheaper option ‘under license’ to FAT CITY CYCLES and not made by the artisans in Somerville themselves. Quite a heavy frame but they are still collectable afaik. Seen different forks on these too...

My daughter loved hers. Some kid will have an amazing Christmas 😎 Killer price for such a beauty.

Yeah shame about the oem fork. If it was my size i’d try to track down the fork. Still a very nice rider for someone.

Yes, swopped over different set ups (quill/ahead) many times and the tolerances and build quality is still top notch after all these years. 👍

They only made them in 135 & 150mm reach in Ti.

So well made and work nicely to kill trail buzz 😎

Nice 😎

Some kid will have an amazing Crimbo waking up to this. My daughter climbed every steep gravelly hill from the age if 6 on these they are so light compared to a modern kids rig.

Its defo a L sus corrected frame from 93/94. I had the same frame and they really do ride beautifully with the right fork. You need to inspect the seat tube base as mentioned on another thread especially as its been kept in a shed.

Plenty of Yeti FROs and other high end premium thin walled steel frames of this era ‘can have’ rust issues, its nothing unique to steel FATs no drain hole accepted. I always turned my 89 steel FAT upside down and dried the seat tube out over night in a warm room and used frame saver = zero rust...

More likely, yes. Year 90s tended to be grello or aquafade.

Yes, this Yo Eddy fork predates (90-92) the BOI (92 -10th Anniversary BOI only but from 93 onwards BOI forks were suspension corrected unless custom ) Factory BOI forks are actually very very rare as most new FAT owners were speccing suspension forks by 1993. Plenty of reproduction BOI ones...

Its a lovely original Yo Eddy fork but not as rare or valuable as an original factory BOI. I would definitely recommend waiting for the right Yo Eddy frame to turn up to fit it. Depending on the condition, it might be nice to repaint in Grello or some OG FCC fade. FCC invented this style of...

Nice to see a ‘proper macaroni’ with holes both ends. V v rare OG jewell. Miss mine. GLWTS

Its likely it would be the wrong A-C ie NON sus corrected making the steering too twitchy as the head angle becomes too steep. FAT Ti’s are typically ( unless custom spec) sus corrected and need A-C 415mm for 91-94 era Ti FATs.

I shudder when I see what looks like an OG Yo Eddy ( in this case as patina on steerer looks old ) or OEM BOI fork being split from their original frame. Way under priced if its an original but sold.

The holy grail of Somerville made years - 1994. Nice to see its been enjoyed properly but it has a dent on the non drive side stay, hence the crazy low price. Cheaper to import as F&F only though 🤔👍
