Very nice felt Chief frame and a few parts to go with it.

Threw some parts at the Chief today ,not sure if they're going to stick or not ? I pulled out a set of fat Frank 26" tires Ive had in the stash for a while paired with a new set of 2" wide chrome wheels i had laying in wait , developed a lil bit of a headache finding a head set to fit the over sized head tube but got it on ther , looks good and rides nice but I'm just not feeling it ?

I had a similar experience with a build recently. Leave it out in the weather for a while and scuff up the paint.
 
Cool stuff. I understand about not feeling the Felt, but it looks great. Maybe try some apes like and El Guapo?

I'm sure I'll be trying alot of different things with the chief ,I think it's too clean for me ?

Looks like you have changed wheels on the Ranchero? :wondering:
Better throw us some new pictures. :nod:

Got a deal on some 18" wheels, removed the trim now just need too lower it ,maybe air bags ?

Needs a triple tree fork and a Electra XL saddle (wider and has a thinner profile)
 
Picked up a few more things for the parts stash , prewar Schwinn straight bar with some interesting parts on it and a set of blue anodized Arayas with a Schwinn drum brake and cluster worked on to it , should be a quick flip as far as wheels g0. Also a custom Murray Eliminator with a nos person nanner and other nice bits , also a 5sp chestnut tall Schwinn with a positron shifter also a 3spd speedster that should clean up nice + another Coppertone exerciser...will see what happens with this batch , plenty too keep me in the shop when I can get rid of this coughing.
Pics could be better but its gets late and dark quick around here.
