So the non special edition production frame will be $1700ish. How does that compare to others?

$1750 CAD ($1390 USD) will get you a Team SL hand built by Chris Dekerf to your specifications.

It doesn't look like he hasn't got much to say.


...True Temper OX.... 142x12 axle...tapered headtube...droppr post... Hey, it's Yo Eddy!!!!

He should have added "It's a mountain bike!!!"


I think with an s-bend seat tube those short chainstays might even work, tho....

Re:

Modern, steel, plain and simple (just like the old Yo Eddy). I think people will not be disappointed.

Re:

I think it's fantastic, though personally i'd like some type of pivoting dropouts to have a single speed option.

Also (as others have pointed out) the forks look a little anemic at the crown race. If they could flare the small tubes on the segmented crown to a larger diameter where they are welded to the steerer tube the transition would be a bit smoother.
 
why are you guys so in love with sliding dropouts???? Do you really want a single speed? Just buy a White Industries eccentric hub, save weight and looks!

I ride ss 95% of the year so for me it's an important option.

Eno hubs are great, I had and loved them on my rim braked bike. Not sure how well they would work on a disk brake frame though, certainly not an ideal solution to have to readjust the caliper every other ride.
 
Mr.Toad: Do you have to readjust eccentric hubs after every ride? Didn't know that....Why?
In any case, riders who ride geared bikes have never been enthusiastic about slider dropouts: too heavy. I'd never buy a slider dropout equipped bike, unless it was a 26er (you can slide dropouts outwards to use 27.5 tyres). Mr. Chance had probably decided to present a first model to satisfy the majority of the customers, and I suppose they'll offer Paragon dropouts as an option as the YO reaches full production, as Dean, Moots, and all the other custom builders do.

Retroyetiguy: No it doesn't have more clearance: the red bike is the 27.5 model.

Rampage: Chris has probably declared he built the proto. However, the picture of him welding holding the frame with his hands, and with cardboard paper boxes behind leaves me a bit doubtful
 
Ah ok! Hopefully he changes the chainstay length though , you couldn't post a letter through the seatube and tire on the 29'er.
