1994 Fat Chance Yo Eddy Sapphire Fade

[mauricer]

morning guys,

well i got this rare paint job back in April and it came with a black Yo Eddy fork. Since the Nitto stem ii wanted to use was silver and the McMahon Steely Danz cranks had some weird red color, i decided to ask a very talented painter to take on the challenge and adjust all parts to the frame.

Well, and a few months later - i learned to be patient - i received the following pix today....

I think it is spot on.....and can't wait to merry the frame with the silver No Logo King.

Best regards

Great start, after seeing some of your previous builds I wouldn't expect less.

 

[yo-Nate-y]

LOTS of potential here. The color matching looks spot on! What are your plans for the rest of the spec?

 

[mauricer]

It will get full XTR900 treatment - unsure yet about skinwall tires or blackwalls.

Thanks Miguel!

"yummi" indeed! I wish I could find a local painter that could knock out a fade like that.

I love that paint job!

Simply gorgeous. Looking forward to the final reveal

Finally some outdoor pix as i haven't done anything more in the last few months…seat post is only a no name as i haven't found a nice one in 29.4 yet, so please ignore. clamp will also be turned into silver soon.

Remaining to do's: shorter BB, find a seat post (Ringle, AC or similar) and off you go!

Best regards

That's my favourite Yo Eddy ever.

So purty!

Groovy cranks?

 

[colker]

MRC steely danz cranks

 

[mauricer]

Somehow i didn't like the skin wall tires so much and changed to blackwalls. Also the colored crankset will be replaced by an original XTR900.

A good seat post (AC or Kingsbery) would be the icing….

Was there anything wrong with the MRC's? Or was it an aesthetic issue?

 

[Stingercut]

Agree with the Chef, the Steely Danz looked amazing on this beauty.

 

[mauricer]

It was just a bit to much color on the bike.

Now that ís nice....
