Yet another Yo Eddy

[PeteC]

I'm still 1/2 in awe that I found this one on my local craigslist. Picked it up on Monday. M/L Yo in Candy Wild Cherry with matching fork. Mostly m900. Plans are to keep this one pretty simple and classic looking.

I pulled a White Industries/Mavic 217 wheelset out of the 'good' stash for it. So I'll pass along the m900/Matrix wheelset pictured. Also have a black wall set of Panaracer Smoke/Darts that I might use if I don't find some non-pricey skinwalls. Ringle Holey skewers to match. And a grey Selle Italia Flite saddle.

I need to source a Syncros cattleprod (1 inch) stem, Syncros flat bar, maybe some silver RF Turbines, and a right m900 shifter pod. Maybe m747 pedals if I don't go with flats? Maybe a black CK threaded headset if I feel like spending some extra cash

Will strip it down to the frame on the weekend. Looking forward to getting this one started and finished.

Re:

Nice score Pete, especially with the fork. Love the local bargains (although pickings are slim in the depths of Cornwall!)

Thanks Adrian. I'm not in Vancouver, Seattle or Toronto. So retro gems are rare as hens teeth down here, too (though I can't compare to Cornwall). I emailed the seller within minutes of it going up and had it securely in my garage within 2 hours.

I was just sitting on my back patio, grilling some chicken and checking my phone's CL app. I almost fell out of my chair when I saw the ad. Kept a screen shot of it, as below.

p.s. I gave her $600 :xmas-cool:
