Is that the fabricated sheetmetal crown?
I visited Fat City in 1991, and was shown the as-yet-unfolded water jet cut sheetmetal blanks.
Wanted one ever since.

1990 Yo...got it from Fat Head Cycles in Somerville, now long gone. It's seen dirt in NH, VT, NY, PA, all over Europe, CO, UT, and CA. My SS gearing is ok for around town, but not offroad. Gotta get a larger cog and it'll be wicked fun again.

I have a bunch on my PC at work. I'll try to post them tomorrow.
Team Violet is one of my favorite colors.

But, I have owned (briefly) a cosmic fade Yo Eddy w/ Big One Fork and spent a few years on a Slim Chance built with then current Ultegra 9spd. It was a smooth ride..

Here is something to get you in the mood.

Here is a few more of the Violet bike. I almost sold this bike a few months ago, but couldnt go thru with it.

Found this on eBay a couple of years ago. Learned after the fact that I outbid a friend and fellow VSaloner. DOH:eek:
Have the original steel fork that I will reinstall when I get a 1" Headset.

here's my Yo Eddy again--found it on ebay a few years back, frame in great shape but rough paint (grellow/blue/black camo). Repainted in VW mellow yellow and built up single:

I'll join in!

Monster Fat (a step or 2 down from the Yo!), purchased new in 1993 from Belmont Wheelworks. I was told at the time the silver was a custom paint, I've never seen it on another frame but whatdoiknow.

The matching OEM rigid fork is sadly lost in the mists of past moves :(

(Blame my brother for the odd seat position, he was the last guy to ride it.)
