I'm finally selling my Team Fat Chance Yo Eddy! size Large (19")—it’s been sitting neglected since 2006 when I bought a full suspension rig. This was produced in Somerville, MA in 1993 and purchased from Belmont Wheelworks for around $2400; I am the original owner. The frame has the Cosmic Dust Fade paint scheme. This was suspension-adjusted geometry and comes with the original Manitou 3 suspension fork. I just replaced the elastomers with a Wings Suspension spring kit since replacement elastomers have long been unavailable. If you are looking at this post, you probably know the cult following Chris Chance and his bikes have enjoyed, especially the ones before Serotta took over production.

I am having a terrible time trying to read the serial number for those of you who have asked. I believe it’s 24Y3L: the 24th Yo manufactured in 1993 size L (19”). Since we recently moved, I’m having trouble finding the original receipt. I currently only have the 1994 Fat City Cycles catalog received from Wheelworks.

Here's the frame geometry:
Stand over height 31.5"
Head tube angle 71 degrees
Seat tube angle 72 degrees
Top tube length 23.6"
Seat tube c-to-c 19"
Head tube length 123mm
Chainstay length 16 7/8"
Bottom bracket height 11 7/8"
Wheelbase 42"
Frame weight 4lbs 14oz

I think the bike complete with my pedals and saddle weighs around 25.1lb, though whoever is seriously considering a Yo probably doesn't care about weight, rather condition.

The condition is good considering the age. There are some nicks with rust from cable/shoe rub/etc., and a small dent on one chainstay. Also there are scratches to the frame decals in some places from normal wear (locking it to objects, transporting, cable rub, etc). I have tried to show examples of the blemishes in the pictures, but for better & complete detail I will need to email you directly. Most of the parts are original from 1994 (aside from the chain, tires, v-brakes and saddle). I would estimate I have ridden this bike several thousand miles over its lifetime in mostly XC and on-road conditions. It has been garaged and well kept during it’s lifetime.

Here are the parts:
Fork – Manitou Three 80mm travel
Headset – Chris King anodized Alu (purple)
Front derailleur - Suntour XC Pro
Rear derailleur - Shimano Deore XT
Shifters - Shimano Deore XT top-mount thumbshifters (index or friction-shifting)
Brake levers – Diacompe SS-7 anodized Alu (purple)
Brakes (f/r) - Forte Team v-brakes
Rims – Specialized XL21
Hubs – Shimano Deore XT
Seatpost – Generic 29.4mm diameter
Saddle - not included (though I think I have a beater I can throw in if you need one)
Stem – Ritchey Force
Handlebars - Specialized flat
Crankset – Specialized 46/36/24 175mm length arms
Cassette – Shimano Deore 14-32
Chain – Shimano Deore HG
Front//Rear tire – Bontrager Jones AC 47/52 // Bontrager AC rear specific 46/50
Pedals – Generic platforms (not sold with the Crank Bros. Candy in picture)

I’d like to sell this locally before resorting to fleabay; to that end I am open to reasonable offers. Know that I will list it on ebay starting at $600. Email with questions, offers, or for more higher-resolution pictures.

Iwould love a go on one of those.....

you would love it even more after the ride. they're that good.

 

[stedlocks]

The trouble is though, they are affordable in your neck of the woods...........by the time I managed to get one here it would be too much $$$/£££
:shock:

I would love one though..........

 

[saltyman]

yeah, shame the UK import tax is like a game of russian roulette!

 

[GoldenEraMTB]

I've shipped four Fats internationally, with good success of avoiding excessive fees from customs, to the buyers, (knock on wood). It's really how the seller packages it and fills out the forms. there is some risk in claiming a low value with no insurance, but I have yet to have any bikes/parts lost.

 

[stedlocks]

So what sort of cash (including your 'fees'. ;0) ) would I have to pay to get something here then? Provided you could do it!! :0)

 

[andrewl]

I don't need another Yo Eddy, but those large frames are tempting...

I currently have a member's bike sitting in my home waiting for a trip across the pond (not to mention a frame I sold to another member that will also make a trip), and due to a lack of space, would only be able to do one at a time. Come this fall, I'll be returning to university at night, while working full time, so there will be no time.

I guess, what I'm trying to say, is that I would like to help if I can, but it will depend on what's cooking when your deal is done.

As far as fees go, I tend not to charge, but members have been generous with parts donated to me, additional parts bought from me, and a few bucks for my time...so I've never really had to ask

I don't need another Yo Eddy, but those large frames are tempting...

haha, Andrew; your Yo was the first I shipped; I've gotten more efficient since then, though to Australia, it would still be pricey.

Did you ever post that Yo here? It was beautiful, and oh so tempting to ride if I was only four or five inches taller.

 

[stedlocks]

Thanks for that man.... I'll bear that in mind:0)
