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 dents and dings on it from crashes over the years. So this winter I sent it off to Chris Igleheart for the needed frame repairs.
It was originally Grello with the dark metallic blue on the ends of the stays and fork lowers with the pink stickers. I wanted to keep it the iconic Grello but I wanted to make it a one of a kind so I did a fade to metalic blue (like original) but then had it fade into a Bass Boat Blue into a Bass Boat Silver at the drops. I also used the blue up onto the lower seat tube and bottom part of the down tube so there was more room for the fade into Bass Boat - but not going up onto the frame nearly as far as in the aqua fade style. The decals selection on my Yo was different that the later models and I reproduced it exactly as it was on the original D&D paint job. Most notably the signiture decal is not there and instead of Fat City Cyles on the seat tube there is a Yo Eddy team decal. Of course there is clear over the whole thing after the decals were placed.
