My '90 wicked:

It was completely hammered when I got it, but it cleaned up quite nicely...rides like a dream too.

Thanks. Glad you like it...it was a lot of work getting it to this stage, but now I smile every time I look at it.


Here are a few more shots:

This brand is the coolest, but this thread has left me thinking that we should have a one off 'Bike of the Brand' competition i.e. a poll for the best Fat Chance (and/or other brands) on this forum.

Just a thought.

Good thinking and already been done for a few brands, keep your eye out for more in the future.

There it is...those yellow bullseyes mated to the black vantage rims, and yellow Yo fork, along with the turbo saddle. Very well done...love it.

What made you go with a Yo fork instead of a wicked unicrown or box fork?

Well played Steve! Saw the before / after pictures - looked savage! Excellent job...

'94 Somerville Yo Eddy

When I originally bought it, it was the team Lavender, but two years later I had them repaint it. Not sure why, because I loved that color! In 2001 I converted it to singlespeed and it hasn't seen gears since. Right now it sits unloved in the basement with ENO rear wheel (to get rid of the Surly tensioner) and ENO cranks. The Sweet Wings like in the above pic were loosening up too often.
