New fillet brazed fork, frame repair (seat tube & cantilever bridge) & mods (braze ons for fenders) for this Fat Chance Yo Eddy restomod.
Most parts are 2nd hand or bin parts as usual except for the NOS Araya RM20 rims, Sapim spokes, Yokozuna compressionless housing and Ken ID cantilever thingies. Hammered fenders are traditionnal rando Lefol "le Martelé".

This is my main bike for the last 10 years; the frame has been made by my friend Nicolas Noblet (https://noblecycles.be/), the segmented fork was made by -now retired- legendary framebuilder Chistopher Igleheart (https://www.iglebike.com/) who might have been one of the person who designed it, back in the days at Fat Chance Cycles.
This bike has seen many iterations and changes mostly for commuting, long distance riding, traveling, and some gravel/bikepacking. It has been buildt with Campagnolo, Gevenalle, and now our own Hufla shifters, Middleburn cranks, vintage XTR derailleur and Hope/Mavic Open Pro/ Sapim CX Ray wheels. Plus other nice parts from: Sim Works/Honjo, Runwell, Thomson, Zipp, etc...

In what will be a futile attempt to clear shit, I’m off to the coast to see my buddy.
This time, I am TAKING a FULL CAR LOAD!
Let this event be noted in history, for it is a rare occurrence
Here’s hoping I come home with less than I started

@harld @yamuis maar wel voor het akkoord stemmen. Too little. En maak hier dus niet weer de nieuwe messias-du-jour van, journo's! #fatchance
