    Yo fork options

    I currently have my '99 Yo! set up as a singlespeed with an Igleheart segmented 650B fork. My neck and arthritic wrists need a break so I'm going to change to a suspension fork for a while. A Fox F80 RLC should work fine without screwing up the handling, right?

    Vintage road ride

    I was getting ready for our Sunday club ride when I discovered a torn sidewall on my Lemond Zurich. Rather than make a mad rush for repairs, I grabbed my trusty Slim Chance without thinking twice. Only a few of the club members are savy enough to notice downtube shifters and were quick to ask...

    Another Ti Fat

    Just finished building this one up. The maiden voyage proved to be a lot of fun. Just an amazing bike for the climbs and a lot of fun on the twisties. Big thanks to jh4rt for the fork.

    Ride quality

    So, I've never ridden a Monster Fat. I was wondering how you'd describe the ride quality. I have a Yo! and a Wicked, so comparisons are helpful.

    Roll Call: Vintage bike race

    Is anyone here going to attend the 20th Annual Keyesville Classic race in Southern California in March? Here's a quote from the official race website: "Has time passed you by? Do you feel like the bike industry has taken the soul out of the mountain bike? Does "nine inches of travel" mean to...

    My new pony

    I just acquired this new ride for the stable. Well, new to me. It's a 1989 Wicked Fat. The story goes something like this: the original owner was a bike dealer who purchased the frame from Fat City as an unpainted frame. He sent it to Cycle Art to have a custom job done and put the build...
