    69'er Conversion

    Here is what I've been thinking. I have a 1999 Yo Eddy with a period suspension fork. There looks to be plenty of room to put a 29" wheel on the front of it using a custom rigid fork with the right axle to crown measurements and offset. Questions to you all are: 1 - has anyone done this...

    Cracked Chain Stay - Help needed

    The drive side chain stay on my 90' Yo Eddy cracked. The crack was the ultimate result of chain suck damage from many years prior. I talked to a local frame guy here in Fort Collins (Nobilette) he has ideas on how to repair it, but the best would be if we replaced the whole chain stay. The...

    Squealing Brakes - Paul Motolites on Yo Fork

    To my dismay my new Paul Motolite Linear pull (vbrake) brakes don't agree with my Yo Eddy fork. I've had great luck using these Motolites with other combinations but I cannot get the fronts to not squeal like crazy- back brakes work awesome. This is not a little chirp either, but a bone...

    S/M Aqua Fade Yo on eBay

    Looks like a nice ride for some one looking for a S/M Yo. The upper seat tube decal looks odd to me for some reason, a close up of that would be nice to see. update - the seller claims it's original aqua fade paint...

    1990 Grellow Yo Restoration

    1990 Grello Yo Restoration I got my frame back from Spectrum Powder Works and took a few pictures for you all to check out. This is a Large 1990 Yo and it's my first Fat. After many years of abuse it was needing some serious work. The seat tube had a serious rust problem and there was many...

    eBay find - 91 Yo Eddy

    This Yo looks like a small or small/medium. It looks like a pretty nice original - way to small for me. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170329262490&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:US:1123

    http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180339476325&indexURL=7&photoDisplayType=2#ebayphotohosting I just checked out this auction that recently ended and I noticed that the Yo Betty being sold is actually a Buck Shaver with Yo Betty decals. The serial number backs it up...

    1991 Black Yo SS Project

    This started out with my girl friend wanting a single speed ride. So last fall this 91 Yo showed up on eBay and after she won the auction this very original Yo that was caked with filth and had a lot of surface rust on the stem and the head set area shows up. After I stripped in down to the...

    Track Drop outs?

    I'm getting ready to restore my Yo Eddy frame but I still have not decided on the drop outs. I'm going to run it single speed and I'm either going with an Eric's ENO hub or Track Drops. Over all it seems like the track dropouts are the best way to go but I'm not sure what that does with the...

    Handlebars snapped!

    I'm licking my wounds today as a result of my using some handlebars I should have tossed out. Years ago I took off an aluminium flat bar as they had a few seasons on them. Instead of throwing them out I've just kept them for some reason. Well the other day I was wondering how a pair of flat bars...

    "New" Monster Fat - 1991

    It was 1991 all over again tonight when I rode my fresh Monster Fat. This frame is so fresh, when I looked down the seat tube all I saw was shiny fresh steel and fresh clean grease. I treated it to Frame saver and built it up last night. I got it done at 1AM last night and took it out for it's...

    How rare are our bikes?

    I've searched a bit for production figures by year and model and have come up with nothing. Does anyone have some data on production figures? My specific interest is 1990-1994.
