Yo Eddy Restoration

[elephant]

I think you probably got a big karma bump for your restoration. These are soul bikes.

Cheers!

Nice story behind it elephant. Congratulations on how it has worked out for you.
It's funny how things work out sometimes, isn't it? Such coincidences are really amazing.


By the way, my Yo was my first true race bike too, first high quality bike. It was a revelation.

Small world. Common thread amongst people in these forums I'm sure!

It is "done"! It has a cheap Shimano BB and the rear der does not shift well (as expected - go friction!) and the pedals will be replaced with lighter Eggbeaters, but done enough to ride. It should weigh sub 10 kg when finished.

Here it is...

Sweeet! I love that bike.
And 22+ lbs, how can that not be fun to ride.
Congratulations elephant!
