17” Fat Chance Yo Eddy Aqua Fade Frame And Fork

[retrobate]

I'm sure that we have seen these colour matched RC30's here before.
Seems expensive for a repaired & repainted frame, we shall see.

For some reason the custom painted RC30's look just wrong to me. I want to see the original segmented Yo Eddy forks, or the Tange Switchblades look better (Look at the other eBay pics)

I mean it’s lovely and I’d love this but yeah a lot of money…

Got to love an aquafade.

Don't think the price is bad to be honest as it'd cost as much to buy a frame needing repair, the forks and the paint job before you add on the price of fixing the frame. Basically, it would cost you more to start from scratch.

Not saying I don’t think it’s worth it, I think it’s a fair price as commented above

Overpriced

To be fair it’s a fantastic aqua fade repro ( I own 4 aquas and one harlequin) literally indistinguishable. Crazy to add the decal to the top tube though

Overpriced

Not considering the cost of repair and a repaint. These were expertly hand built precision frames using custom spec tubing at the time. Even todays tech cant improve on the ride quality ( ignoring disk brakes yada ) There are people in the States still racing these and placing in the top 10 in races against modern rigs. The frame alone was around £1k in 1990 + segmented fork if you wanted one.

Sold so not that over priced!
