Hey Scant,
Yeah...I already have a matching fork that came with the frame. Not too crazy about the looks of those oldskool Wicked forks. I just think it would be very cool to ride a Yo fork on the Wicked. Don't really see too many Wickeds with a Fat Fork.
Cheers,
Fatty

ah fair enuff 
I picked up a yo eddy frame & fork (& few other parts) earlier this year for £100,.. going by current ebay prices I'm beginning to realise how much of a bargain that was now
Keep looking mate, took me 6years to find a team lavender Yo.. they're out there

I am looking in all the wrong places then. Can you maybe point me in a better direction? Ebay and myself are not on good terms with each other anymore. I have never even heard of one that cheap!! All of the Germans must have bought up the ones in the states! I am trying to sell a Cannondale right now to get another YO, so I am definitely in the market!

my recent yo was off www.fatcogs.com ,although to be fair it does need a full respray.

the yo fork costs a lot of cash. either you find someone fool enough to take advantage of or spend the $ they are worth in the open market.
the smart alternative is ride the wicked w/ it's intended long rake pedestrian fork.

Rody will make you one as well.

Although, I agree with the others. If you want a Yo fork, buy a Yo. I think the Wicked would actually be a bit goofy riding with a Yo. Better with a BOI, but still best with that curved unicrown. (imho)

Re: Rody will make you one as well.
it's the rake.. wickeds were designed around the common then 1.75in forks. it gives melow stable handling and a longer front than the yo fork w/ 1.5in of rake. the yo frame compensates w/ it's much longer top tubes.
