Medium yo eddy ok for 6ft?

I was thinking maybe a 50-80mm front suspension fork, so maybe that would fit even better, I like my bikes to have a higher front end.

Well, this is how I have mine setup. Fairly low at the front.

If you like a higher front I'd try and find a later Yo in a M/L. From memory most Yos from 93 on were adjusted for a longer 50/60mm suspension fork. However if you start banging a 80mm fork on that might kill the crisp handling. All that said do recall someone had a 130mm fork on their Yo.

how far are you going to ride it? a smaller frame is a giggle for short blasts but may become uncomfortable on longer rides. Either that or you end up fitting a silly tiller stem and having the saddle all the way back.

Personally, I have short legs and a longish body for my height so i tend to gravitate towards sloping top tubes where I'm at the shorter end of the "fit" range for the size

This ones a 93 model, yours does look too low for my style of riding!

Local rides and probably used single speed, around the doors and nice days for messages etc or loaned to friends on certain days too.

looks awesome, but does look like it would be hard on the neck, or to see up the trail far

I think you know the answer to your own question....

Take a look at a later M/L as a starting point. From memory though some of the later mediums had a similar sized headtbe whilst having a slighty shorter top than the M/Ls so might be worth a look, take a look at the catalogues here Fat Chance Catalog Archive.

Maybe you should look at a SS IF if you want a one geared cruiser....

You going back to a Yo Salty? Is it the one Si has/had? How did you're beautiful old M/L feel?
