It doesn't look like he has much to say.


...True Temper OX.... 142x12 axle...tapered headtube...droppr post... Hey, it's Yo Eddy!!!!

He should have added "It's a mountain bike!!!"


I think with an s-bend seat tube those short chainstays might even work, tho....

Re:

So the non special edition production frame will be $1700ish. How does that compare to others?

I don't think much of the new one. It's not elegant like a Yo should be.

 

[novekili]

quite fair, as much as an Indy Fab. If they refine the design, Fat might even restart, but the first batch must be up to the customers' expectations.

They should hasve attemped at a more attractive design IMO

$1750 CAD ($1390 USD) will get you a Team SL hand built by Chris Dekerf to your specifications.

Re:

Modern, steel, plain and simple (just like the old Yo Eddy). I think people will not be disappointed.

Re:

I think it's fantastic, though personally i'd like some type of pivoting dropouts to have a single speed option.

Also (as others have pointed out) the forks look a little anemic at the crown race. If they could flare the small tubes on the segmented crown to a larger diameter where they are welded to the steerer tube the transition would be a bit smoother.

why are you guys so in love with sliding dropouts???? Do you really want a single speed? Just buy a White Industries eccentric hub, save weight and looks!

I ride ss 95% of the year so for me it's an important option.

Eno hubs are great, I had and loved them on my rim braked bike. Not sure how well they would work on a disk brake frame though, certainly not an ideal solution to have to readjust the caliper every other ride.

At least it has more rear wheel clearance than the prototype .
