for those who don't speak German :

I offer from the Fat Chance mountain bike series a "Yo Eddy" titanium bike, BJ. approximately 94, 44 Rh, 24-G. Shimano XTR / mix. The MTB has been driven about 1000km. The new parts (fork, derailleur, chain, sprocket, crankset, bottom bracket, hubs, tires) only about 100 km, the saddle + the brakes are new. It is in very good condition. The weight is 9950g

The Fat Chance Titanium heard since 1995, this year there was a test in the American mountain bike action, to my absolute dream bike. Fat is the Ti is available in 3 variants. Most often you meet here at the abgebioldete "sleeved" construction, the pipes are fitted together and welded, this is a sort of tapering can be achieved. Characteristic of the many welds on this frame.

Wants to buy me a new and therefore sell my collection of Alträder. An inspection was done before, so just sit on drive off, and enjoy.

The wheel may either complete with Hermes for 39.90 €. ready to be shipped, as well as with DHL for € 19.90 in the usual race-card, in this case, mounted the front wheel and the pedals, handlebars and must be placed across the stem needs to be adjusted and tightened. Or you can get free from myself. In other countries I send upon request.

Nice. Maybe one day I'll afford one... That 80mm SID is too long for this bike.

No it's not. 94 on Fats will quite happily take a 80mm fork. Even a 100mm fork works well with the right bar and stem.

That said, a Fat Ti really should have a BOI fork in silver blue fade to be really cool.

The weird thing about this is my Fat Ti which is from the same year has a "Yo Eddy" decal on the top tube...

I am almost certain that this is original as the rest of the decals are original

Where the early "sleeved" frames based on the Yo Eddy geometry, but just in a Ti tube?

That crankset is hideous, and doesn't function any better than it looks. I remember riding a friend's Canondale back in the 90's, and that crank creaked and flexed something awful.

The good Dr. is correct regarding the 80mm forks with mid-90 Yo's; I've put plenty of miles on a 90 Yo with a 63mm suspension fork; have also put many miles on a 94 Yo with an 80mm fork.

Tried a 100mm fork, and did not like it, though.

You need a shorter stem (max 100mm) and a wider bar with more backsweep tomake them work with 100mm forks. Set up so, with 20% sag they ride really sweet. With the shorter stem, top tube length can be marginal but if you are reasonably compact you can get away with it.

Again, this bike should have a Fat City fork though.

early sleeved fat chance titaniums were based on the geometry of the 10th anniversary. customers could always spec a personal choice of decals, so its possible the yo eddy decal is original, even if Fat didnt normally use the Yo decal on the Ti.
