Yes the Sixty-8 runs a small 3-speed cassette...

Re: (no) Felt Cruiser "The Lucky 13" - something in the air As the frame does not arrive until mid next week, I'll show how it will look like: The frame is a modded Smyster from pg-bikes

The Hub in your bike is a Sachs Torpedo 3-speed H3111S and was build from 1975 on...

Re: (no) Felt Cruiser "The Lucky 13" - something in the air Only some small news on my project: - the new frame didn't arrive yet... - bought a Sachs Pentasport rearhub as a replacement for the Torpedo 3-speed-hub, because it isn't wide enough for the new frame... - designed a vintage racing...

Re: (no) Felt Cruiser "The Lucky 13" - something in the air Yes, I use an offset sprocket... the offset is about 1cm...

Re: (no) Felt Cruiser "The Lucky 13" - something in the air definetly NO Basman. It will be a much more exclusive frame....

(no) Felt Cruiser "The Lucky 13" Hey guys! "The Lucky 13" will be no Felt anymore... "there is something in the air" Steve Jobs would say, but I will just say this: most people change parts, I'll change frames! :mrgreen: It'll be much longer, much lower and a lot more agressive, thats for...

This is my "The Lucky 13" (not finished yet...), it started as a Vintage Iron 400 Cross and I changed ervything except frame and seatpost. :mrgreen:

Re: Felt Cruiser "The Lucky 13" By the way... I made some new photos! ... Oh and the Ape might be replaced this week...

Re: Felt Cruiser "The Lucky 13" Heyho! I finally managed it to get "The Lucky 13" rollin. And this is what it looks like now (there are still some minor things to do):

If you'll ever have the chance to get a Fichtel & Sachs (older ones) or Sachs (newer ones) hub, take it! The "Torpedo" 3spd-hubs Model 515 and H3111 are among the most reliable hubs ever build. They are also very easy to install and maintain. On Ebay Germany they are sold for about 15€...

Thank you all for the positiv feedback! This bike was my first build up and it seems to be a strike. :mrgreen: It is even considered to be one of the most beautiful ballon bikes in whole Germany :oops: ...

Re: Felt Cruiser "The Lucky 13" Well IF I had the skills and tools, this bike would look hell more agressive... This is one of the designs that come out of my brain (and its not the craziest at all):

Re: Felt Cruiser "The Lucky 13" As I am not skilled in powdercoating, I handed it to a small company that usually does industrial powdercoating. So the coating is very thick and extremely scratch resistant (anyway I managed it to get some small scratches on the fork :x ).

Re: Felt Cruiser "The Lucky 13" I hope to get it done soon... what is still to do: - center the front wheel in the fork - get the Aheadset clamp in the steering tube - get another Aheadset clamp in the bottom side of the steering tube (there the headlight will be mounted) - some minor...

Re: POST PHOTOS HERE FOR THE GALLERY PAGE My 1960 Diamant named "Silent Bob"

This is my second bike (well actually i bought it before my "Silent Bob", but it's finished later...). Originally it was a 2006 Felt Vintage Iron 400 Cross and i rode it for about half a year when I decided that it would be time to make something better out of it... Almost original ( I only...

This is one of my bikes, a 1960 Diamant "Touren-Sport". I bought for 38€ in this condition: The crankset was worn out, the fenders resolved, the brakes didn't work and the handlebar/ stem-combination was broken and rustet within the steering tube. BUT it had a nice worn paint and a cool old...

Heyho Guys! My name is Patrick and I'm another cruiser and vintage bike infected guy from Germany (to be exactly: Leipzig, Saxony). I'm 20 years old and I like - ofcourse - bikes and music (almost everything that rocks). I have 2 bikes, a 1960 Diamant "Touren-Sport" and a Felt Vintage Iron 400...
