Any Thoughts on The Felt 1903 Model Bike,...

[Carbon]

A new bike shop just opened here in my town and they have one setting in the window, pics on the web do it no justice, this thing is super sweet in person, paint is so clean and lines are nice. The color combos and white Quick Brick tires are the heat, seriously eyeing this thing, and it just so happens I sold one of my somewhat high end road bikes today and have a bunch of Andrew Jacksons burnin a hole in my pocket. :shock:

I bought one myself this summer. One sweet ride. I'd recommend getting one.

Nice looking bike. How much is it?

 

[Carbon]

I seem to remember my LBS asking 529 for it, msrp is 499. Thats the bit thats a little hard to swallow. :?

That's a lot. One question. Is that knee action fork solid like the old ones or is it like those cheap made in taiwan that bend thru the bolt

 

[Carbon]

Not sure on the fork, it just seems to me like for that kind of doe they could have stuffed at least a Profile 3-piece crank in there or something, just to make you feel like you got your money's worth. I'm still diggin it though.

Cool bike. A friend owns a bike shop, he is a Felt Dealer. I rode this bike, really liked it. I like what Felt does with bicycles. Glad I had the chance to check it out. A week after he got it, he sold it.

Really cool... Felt has some good looking stuff. I have heard sketchy things about customer service, but you can't deny the "cool" factor.

You wont regret the purchase.

Try to get their newest model which has new style tires on it, they are similar to the quick bricks, but tread design is a little different and have a small black logo on it. Most other dealers are charging upwards of $600 for them. a 1903 is the next one in my Felt collection. 8)

Another thing, it looks like felt will start changing their cruiser line and these old frames may go away. If you like their new style bikes with the hefty price tag, you can also wait for one of those.
