Fat Chance Bicycles, the cult brand of the 90s, presents the latest version of its equally iconic "Yo Eddy" model. Re-launched in 2015, it comes with newly designed dropouts paired with a Boost 148 rear axle width. This means that 27.5 plus tires up to three inches or 29-inch wheels with tires up to 2.5 inches wide can be ridden. Internally routed cables, suspension fork with 120 millimetres of travel and the variable seat post make the bike a modern trail hardtail with an old-school character - made of steel, of course.

The "Yo Eddy 2.2" also has a new version of its Thru-Axle dropouts and the brake mount is also new. The disc brake has now been moved down to the chainstay. This results in a tidier look and the brake line is routed more directly. The geometry still appeals to riders who appreciate agile handling, except that they have even more riding options with this bike.

To say the Yo-Eddy frame uses proprietary parts is an understatement. Founder Chris Chance plays a direct role in the design and manufacture of every part of the frame. Each frame is made to order and based on founder Chris Chance's proven design and geometry. However, the buyer has several options such as color, decals or cable routing. From design to welding to paint, the Yo-Eddy-2.2 is completely handmade in the USA.
