Fat Chance Yo Eddy from 1992 (Team Colour)

[Ganimed]

Hi classic bike friends

I wanna show you my Fat Chance Yo Eddy from 1992 in original team colour paintjob.

Bought the frame and fork in 2001 on ebay. A Yo eddy was always a dream of mine. But in 1992 I was 16 years old and had no money for such high end bikes.

Hope you like it

The Yo was The Bike i always wanted... for years. My size is SM which is not that easy to find so I ended up w/ a Wicked and love it. So my dream Fat became the Team Comp, which is a refined, lighter, better Wicked. The last thing i need is another vintage 26in mtb but if a Team Comp came up on my size, i would leave reason behind.

Nice frameset, built into bikes with very different appearances..! I think I like the looks of the build in the fourth pic the most , with those blackwall tyres on dark rims.
Not a fan of Spinergies, or Panaracer Magics, TBH

Would love to own a Yo too one day..!

Thanks all

I also like it the most with the dark Mavic rims.

But I also love the look of the Yo Eddy with the Panaracer Magic tires and Tioga Disk Wheel. Looks absolutely crazy.

greetings,
Olli

I also have a very rare Fat Chance Yo Eddy helmet in my possession.

How does it ride? Where do you ride it? What tire widths are you running there?

It rides awesome. One of the best bikes I'd ever ridden. Most of the time I ride it on forest paths, gravel paths, easy terrain or tours.

Tire width is 2.1". But the Conti Twister Supersonics look more like 1.9". On the Spinergys I had Hutchinson 1" slicks.

Have you tried a 2.4 or 2.5 tire, tubeless, on rough and steep trails? I wish i could run big tires on my wicked.
