    Felt Great Park bike

    This is my hybrid, (thanks Irontri) Felt Great Park #2076. I paid $100.00. This bike is mint. I saw something in this frame besides the great wheels. Still to much orange but what a base for my January build! I still have 24 hours, I’ll be right back

    Felt Great Park bike

    Last October I picked this bike up. Roughly 2014ish Felt. These were made for a housing project in Orange County Ca. Buy a house, get a free bike. (Felt stopped producing cruiser bikes in 2016) These were some of the last cruiser’s made. I live in OC as well so I kept seeing these on the...

    1998 Mercedes Benz AMP bicycle

    This bike moved right to the top of my favorite list. It rides like a dream and I can’t wait to start polishing all that aluminum. Thanks for all the conversation and here are most of the specs on this thing.

    It’s a 7 speed Nexus with a roller brake. And So much room!

    1998 Mercedes Benz AMP bicycle

    Well, I got to work and right out of the gate several things came to light, tires rotted, chain frozen brakes didn’t work. I went through these items and the hard part was getting the back wheel off! This thing was high tech for 1998 but pretty crude these days. it appears that this bike has...

    I saw this on eBay and had to have it. I received it on Wednesday. I will get it moving and post more. I’m only 5’6 so I hope it shrinks down!

    Sorry for the delay! Holidays and all, Fork tubes? These are 24 inches long and 1 1/8 OD. I took about 2 inches off the top.

    I agree! The bag goes and gets replaced with a second headlight. ( it was free with the seat) I need to fab a bracket to get them both to stack right, step back and look again. There never really done.

    Nirve forty nine build

    She rode great, a small chain guard and chain adjustment and that’s that. I added some small side grill bling I found on Amazon to the tank area, Purple axel nuts and a head light. The seat, Amazon again and it came with a free bag! The seat is a bit stiff but we will see. The BB under the...

    Nirve forty nine build

    Merry Christmas! I spent the last few days finishing up the wheels. I changed out the standard nipples (1/2) for long (3/4) purple ones, retrued the wheels and added Maxxis “holy roller’s”. 26 X 2.40. These ride sweet on the street even with the knobby tires. So the wheels are on, chain...

    Nirve forty nine build

    Wow, I forgot about them! I used them in the late 80’s. I looked them up and they are still in biz. I’m going back to do some comparison shopping. No issues with Primo but what the heck.

    Nirve forty nine build

    Well I got the front end kinda mocked up using a ridged triple clamp fork and installed the cranks. I decided to name her Violet, notice the name on the chain guard. I decided to run black aluminum rims provided by a Fuji crusier donor bike. (Rest it’s soul) These rims are light and have the...

    The frame and chain guard are back from the powder coater! Now to sit back and percolate a bit. I love this color, Illusion Violet. I see a mix of black and chrome.
