Fat Chance 1992 Yo Eddy Rebuild

I was thinking about getting the fade on the Judy's I have but was talked out of it, got some nice refurbed yellow ones to go on now once it's painted.

Can't wait to see yours being built up ;)
 
Hhhhmmm, not got my hands dirty much lately, unless you count cutting a cord and subsequent related decorating ... ;-)

Collected a few more bits though :cool:



This lot will be mated with some new bits to make a nice ringle / DKG clamp assembly :



Some NOS loveliness :



Does anyone need any fat chance brakes disks laser cut in stainless ?



I transferred them to CAD and have had some cut as a favour for an American fat owner - PM me with any interest ;-)

Sadly I don't. Love the work you're doing on the frame but that fork is too flexy to match the Yo's ride. Next to that I won't trust a (Chinese?) ti fork with that weight to work with a added disc tab. Just saying ;)

Keep up the good work :D

Yup. I'll give you my 200% money back guarantee that POS folds up like a lawn chair.

Good luck with your facial reconstruction

Damn you guys ...









































Will this keep you happy ...



:LOL: :cool:

Lots of other things going on in my life at the moment ... ;-)

How did you embed the youtube video ? I have tried (and failed) a few times on here before (but I do 99% of my posting from a phone ?) ... :?

Find the YouTube address, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46mXMXz76TQ

Then surround it with the
Code:
[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46mXMXz76TQ[/youtube]
quotes/brackets, like you do for quotes, URLs etc. using the youtube button.

I have tried that before ?! I will blame the phone ... :LOL:

Anyone interested in replacement fat disks :







I have got the later style (New York style) brake disks coming soon to ;-)

WD :D
 
I got an original fork patent decal :



Edges tidied a little :



I am seeing if VeloCals will do me a colour coded set for under the clear coat :D

The matching fork mount turned up (stainless to match the rear ) :



These are the new cable stops, the closest matching style I could find :



The weld tabs still needed to go though :



Clockwise - machined off tabs, original triple, edges hand finished :





Brake delivery number one :



With NOS disks :





Hub and brake delivery number two :



Amongst other things, new bearings will be fitted throughout :





The disk showed some signs of corrosion, a bit strange really as I thought they were stainless ? :



A oxalic acid bath, a seeing to with the dremel, a flatting off and a good scrub later :



Not perfect, but pretty good :



Rubber cable seals seem to be in short supply for these callipers, the entry ones are good but the only exit one I have is a little torn :-( :



Once clean, the best way I have found to restore rubber is to paint it in gold class and seal it up until needed. The gold class is really penetrating stuff and after a long term soaking, when the excess is wiped off they will stay new looking :



Just for a laugh and whilst I am on the fat theme, I post a lot of envelopes through eBay and thought it would be good to invest in a stamp - when I spotted you could upload a logo the choice was easy ... :LOL:



Even the ink is purple ... ;-)
