So, this is my first restoration project and I have to say I'm already in love. This is such an amazing color, can't wait to get her all built up and take her out for a shakedown!! The patient is a 1992 Yo, with BOI fork and Salsa stem (so far). It started out as a black frameset with a mix...

So, one of my Yos has a completely dead factory BB. My idea of how to remove the BB is as follows 1. Remove collars from BB spindle 2. Remove metal clips from BB cups 3. Press out BB spindle (through either side, but I'll press from non-drive side) 4. Pop out the BB cups using something like...

So, all this recent talk of bike flipping vs restorations made me decide to officially come out into the restoration camp. In that vein I decided to convert my hobby into a little side business. In case anyone wants to check out my burgeoning 'business' and provide feedback, comment or just...

What is the diameter of the pressed in BB spindle? I'm wondering if this Park tool would be a good way of removing the pressed in bearings: http://www.parktool.com/product/pressfit-bottom-bracket-bearing-tool-set-bbt-90-3

I may be picking up a Wicked which is built up with an RS Mag20, and I'd prefer to convert it to a rigid fork. Aside from the big Yo what fork rigid forks came on the Wicked?

I can check it out or help broker a deal if any one is interested http://losangeles.craigslist.org/sfv/bik/2595966035.html

What is the actual name for the paint job on that crazy $6k Yo on eBay? Is that Team Grello Fade? Is the main grello part different from the regular grello? Any idea on the paint info for the blue section??

I've read the mombat site and still don't know the differences between the wicked, monster, buck shaver, yo, etc... Any help would be appreciated

A friend is selling a Yo and it has a funky serial number: 147Z07 I thought all Yos had a Y in the serial number, I'm guessing it's not a Yo then. Any ideas?

I am all ready to send in my first Yo for a repaint (in team violet) and am not sure about my decal color selection. All team violet Yos I've seen had the black/yellow decals, so that appears to be the way they came. But to me the yellow isn't quite right on the violet. I was thinking that...

The M is going to get painted in Team Violet and the L is most likely going to be white. I think I'll end up passing the M along as I don't think it's my size, but we'll see.

Where can I get replacement front derailleur pulleys and brake studs??

Is that about right or would a control tech stem be mo bettah? Also, painted to match or would black on Team Violet look cool?

I've been looking around at Fat prices as of late and am wondering if there is a consensus for what used Yo's are worth these days, with the Yo fork of course. I've seen some used ones around here for around $700-1000, and some seemingly nice ones on eBay in the $2000-3000. What is a fair...
