Love the YO eddy...Steel is real. That is way too clean though, you need to ride it more.
I have an IF single speed, fill rigid. I ride that most often.
Also have a Breezer Lightning with a single 32tooth in front and a 8speed road cassette in rear.
that is not an actual picture of mine..........Mine is purple, with a spring Carbon Girvin Fork, XTR all over.....
I bought it when i managed a bike shop........i still have the ridged fork it came with. I was thinking about slapping the bomber fork back on. The Eddy fork was the best cromo fork out there...
Old Skool Yo Eddy? That's one of the classic hardtails. very nice...sweet handling bike.
My On One is steel, too. Sweet ride but I'll stick with a suspension fork! I run that SS in the summer and 1x8 in the winter.

you know what is funny.....I was a die hard GT Zaskar fan until i got on my Yo!...
the GT = a Mexican low rider with hydraulics...
the Yo Eddy = a Cadillac Brahman...

Test appropriately
I was gonna say your frame is too small for you with that three story seat post.
i ride a ML.......it's about a 19 1/2 inch
useless trivia--when Titus was designing the RacerX, one of their benchmarks in bike handling was the Yo Eddy . . .
At least that's what I heard and I like the story.

I finally can afford a high-zoot mtb, but I'm too busy/damaged/old to race 
. I finally gave up on the Cannondale SuperV when I couldn't get parts, got this Epic Comp Disk for commuting, love the thing. Hard tail on flats, opens up the rear suspension on terrain. I still ride most every morning in the dark, towed my 6-yr-old on a 44-mile ride with the trail-o-bike this weekend. One of these days I'll ditch the commuter tires and hit the trails again.

Cannondale.......never liked them......seen too many of them broken. How did you like the SV??

I had a SuperV 1000, I loved it, still miss it. The headshock was fairly bullet-proof, weather resistant, and no fork flex, but the travel wasn't great. I travelled all over Europe with it, a lot of Iceland and Australia, it never let me down. My Epic is a much better bike, but somehow seems more ordinary. It's hard to compare now that I'm not competing. I've not pushed the Epic much beyond the capabilities of the SuperV in the woods. I'm like the old man in the new 'Vette, kinda lame isn't it?
that is one thing i liked about the SV....the head shock and no fork flex......
this is the reason i put on a Carbon Girvin.....one ugly fork, but had a ton of travel and didnt flex
i've got a santa cruz heckler with marzocchi bombers, xtr derailluers, hope discs fr/rr, hope hubs, race face cranks, and azonic stem, post, seat, and handlebars. all this cost a pretty penny and needs to be abused.
i used to ride a lot more when i was living in cali. i had trails right out the back door(laguna seca & fort ord). nowadays, my bike sits in the office waiting to get ridden. need to get back on it and start pounding the trails again. i miss the mud, blood, and sweat.
cheers.

My Epic came with a Fox F100RL fork. I knew the bike would be more than I needed for commuting, so I didn't worry about fork flex. I've not had a shock fork before, but this is a high-end bike, and guys are racing with lesser forks, so it must be ok, right? I guess I'm just thankful to have such a nice bike, gonna enjoy it as much as I can.
Nice sig!
Nice sig!
Fox forks are some of the best riding, best tracking forks out there. I wouldn't worry about it either! I'm glad they are finally coming out with a 29er model so I can send my RockShox Reba Race 29er to hell where it belongs.
That Fox fork is a piece of crap. Let me help you out, pull it off and send it to me and I will send you a brand new Rock Shox Dart fork, solid as a tank.
BTW, I run those crappy Fox forks on both my MTB's, but wouldn't mind having another to replace the SID on my wife's bike. If you don't like the fork some reason after a while, send it to Push Industries and have them mod it to meet your needs.
wow i can't believe i'm the only one rockin' a surly!
i ride a karate monkey at least every other weekend. rigid, single speed, yadda yadda.
i enjoy the 29er for straight up mountain biking, but i still take my 26" fireman's bmx cruiser out when i feel like acting like a kid and jumping everything i get my tires on.
i commute to work every day by bike too. i'll tell ya what, commuting on a fixed gear really makes your legs stronger for those uphill single speed grinders on a mtn bike.

i looked at the karate monkey but liked the geometry of the On One Inbred 29er better. personal preference. that and every time i turned around i saw karate monkeys and redlines and GFs.
hey, asked in another thread but i'll ask here--ever race in michaux sf?
nope, i'm not really a racer. a couple of my buddies do though. i'm more of a grownup bmx monkey, so i just like to jump s***. every single freaking log pile, not matter how tall. i eat s*** alot, but i always have fun. we normally just hit belmont plateu. it's close and has some fun trails.
i chose the KM because you can get the wheelbase realllllly small and tight. i debated the salsa El mariachi, tried a redline monocog 29er flite ( which sucked) and went for the KM.
