Well, i have had this frame sitting in the closet for about 2 years now. Did some trading with a few friends and got most of the parts lined up. So now its time for the build. Doing this one mostly period correct, or as close as i can. Be a cool looking bike when its done. Quick question...

I just picked up this frame while buying another bike. Guy knew it was a fat, but not much else. It has the markings from what looks like "Wicked Fat Chance" decal set that has been removed. The custom graphics paint is under the clear coat, so this is likely an original custom paint job...

My buddy Steve and I met up in MD for a Fat reunion at Deep Creek State Park. Steve's Fat is new to him and really a trail virgin in its current build. Regardless, we rode fast and had a lot of fun. Always good to ride with another Fat owner. The trail had some tight rocky single track that...

Weather has been great, so it was a good day to break out the Fat for some riding. It is always fun to rip up the trail.

So this is an odd one. My seat post clamp was sliding up and popping off the top of the seat tube after a few minutes of riding. you can image the effect of this, seat slides down pretty quick. No amount of tightening would stop it. the clamp is a thomson. I was able to score the inside of...

So damn, it has been like 2 yrs and an undisclosed amount of money later, but the FAT is back! The goal was to return the old girl to her former glory as a race bike and race her in the local circuit. Since my frame had already been repainted and long since lost the orginal components, i went...

The long wait is almost over. My yo is being cleared and almost ready for reassembly. You cannot see how awesome this really is, yet!

This is a 1997 Manitou SX TI fork with extras. It has a 1 inch steerer tube that is 8 inches long. It came off my Large Yo Eddy with some room to spare, so it will fit a big frame. I am the orginal owner of this fork, special ordered it with the steel 1inch steerer in 1997. Was the top of the...

I need a set of yo eddy decals, black with yellow fill. They are no longer available on groovy cycles.

Who is still doing Seat tube repair? I have already emailed Rody and Chris IngleHeart. Is anyone else still doing this? Not sure i can let my Yo Eddy die this way.

Is there anyone in North Carolina that does frame painting? I am strongly considering returning my frame to the original Team Violet. I am thinking either a single color with frame and fork or another two color fade with Team Violet as one of the colors.

I just found this site. I have owned my FAT since 1994. It was orginally team violet with a MAG 21, but got repainted two tone about 10 years ok. These photos are old, but will give you an idea of the ride. My old girl is on the stand right now without a fork (anyone got parts for a 97 Manitou...
