    (BOTEN) "OUTLAW" ...Withdrawn from the build-off...

    This is the kind of stuff that keeps me hooked on this site. Projects like this are a work of art.

    Der Rote Baron - Felt Red Baron

    It's getting there. I have laced and trued the rear wheel with the 3 speed hub. I still need to fit the chain and the shifter. The rest of the stuff planned are small details, I just have to get it running so the deadline doesn't pass me up.

    Best place to find 40 - 50mm semi-wide rims?

    In all the years I've dealt with Felt cruisers, I have never found the source of the rims themselves. If I remember correctly, there is a post somewhere around here that states that the rims are China made and they have them locked down to only use on Felt cruisers. That's as much as I could...

    Der Rote Baron - Felt Red Baron

    Time to update this thread. I haven't had the time I expected to have, but I'm getting there. Ordered a few parts, waiting on a chain and its taking some time to make these tires fit the fork. Still deciding on grips, but the handlebars and saddle are set for now.

    Der Rote Baron - Felt Red Baron

    I'm trying to catch up here. I've been busy at work the last few weeks. Here are just a few items I plan to mock up and go from there. I picked up a 3 speed shifter from @MIGZ and thanks to @Tater who has helped me acquire some parts and has also donated a few parts to my project, I've been...

    bicycle"hoarding" have you been hit by the epidemic please share

    I know there is a thread like this somewhere around here, but I can't seem to find it right now. I can't top Rustinkerer, but the wife has never had a problem with me hording...I mean collecting bikes. And yes I have felt exactly like you, I have more bikes than I can ride, but refuse to sell...

    KILDUFF AUTOMATIC NEXUS SHIFTER

    Interesting design. I do prefer to shift manually though. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

    LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

    Man, not even 24 hours and lots of posts to go through. I've been skimming through all the build off threads and have something to say about each one, but if I posted each comment I would be stuck in front of the screen for hours. Got to take my little girl out for her B-day first, but I...

    Der Rote Baron - Felt Red Baron

    I picked up this bike over two years ago, rode it down the street the day I got it and hung it up ever since. I have always found this exact Felt bike, or should I say paint job, with the story of the Red Baron to be interesting. It was time to do something with it. The only things I see...

    Build off 2015 question

    Okay, I just googled the pin stripping work from 1Shot and we really need to consider a vote to keep the new members out this year.:aggressive:

    WOULD YOU KEEP A VIDEO BUILD OFF JOURNAL?

    Then that's another reason to get another frame :thumbsup: I'll record the progress of my build, it will be my first, don't know if I'll have a chance for another one.

    Guess what showed up in the local news paper?

    Let me see if I remember correctly, is this the guy that offered to buy it off of you when you weren't selling it. If I remember correctly, he likes to collect metal works of art.

    Brrr

    Looks like your going to have your work cut out for you. It's all for a good cause. We are spoiled here, if it's under 60° Fahrenheit, we have indoor activities. :blush:

    Build off 2015 question

    This forum is one of the best communities you will ever find and anybody is welcomed to join. There is only one additional rule for new members, you have to tell us all your secrets that you are putting into your build before the build starts. J/K. Welcome to the forum and have fun, man.

    Anyone else planning for BOTEN (RRBBO#10) yet?

    I'm finally going to join the build off after over 6 years on the forum. I haven't been much of a contributor to this forum since my first daughter was born in 2011, but this build off will get me motivated to build a bike again. May 1st is my daughter's 4th birthday so it's a good time to have...

    New Felt "El Guapo"

    ^ if you don't mind what MIGZ is saying about the weight of the bike then go for it and enjoy it. As per your last post, you can double check with Mostrano themselves, but if your talking about ordering a bike and having it shipped then its an issue with Felt dealer rules last time I heard. As...
