Felt 1903

[BrigmasterA]

So... I don't have it in my hands yet, but my younger brother just bought a Felt model 1903 off of CL in Boise for $100! It is missing one of the straight bars for the front springer, but I figure I can build or find something for that... I can't wait to get it next month! I've been wanting one of these felts for a while, and finalyl found one cheap enough! Oh yeah thanks for the head's up Cman!
No pics yet... So now I have to hurry up and wait. :mrgreen:

Sweet. Did your brother pick it up? 2 Felt in a Week from Boise CL, not bad.

I bought a DYNO mooneyes from Seattle CL and had my brother pick it up. I was hoping to get it down to Boise, but I ended up giving it to him for Christmas :shock:

I guess I'm outta luck...no brothers and I live nowhere near Boise. :?

 

[BrigmasterA]

Yeah he's got it now... I guess the rear hub is kinda loose too, but I can fix it... I got a bunch of tools. :mrgreen:

 

[user 135]

The front and rear hubs were loose on mine too. Felt must have some problems.

 

[BrigmasterA]

I guess they must have. It still has the cream quick bricks on it, which I found exciting. Are the felt rims wider than standard ones?

 

[user 135]

Yeh the Felt rims are 50mm. The the tires look real square because the sidewalls go straight down instead of curving into the rim.

 

[BrigmasterA]

Cool. I can't wait to get this thing. Come on May!

I have seen them in person and they are sweet. 100 bucks is a steal.

My brother sent my pic with his phone... I can't wait. May better hurry up and get here before he decides that he wants to keep it and fix it up for himself... :mrgreen:
The 1903 is an aluminum bike, which will be my first aluminum bike ever. It's good and bad. I won't be able to cut it up and weld on it, which means A) I can't ruin it, and B) I can't mod it. It's a good thing it's pretty dang cool to begin with.
