Felt Rat Rod

[GameBent]

I have wanted a Felt cruiser ever since I started collecting, but they are just too expensive! Well, months of daily Craiglist cruising have finally paid off as I scored a sick Felt Troy Lee 3i aluminum cruiser for the same price that you can get a 3-speed steel MiCrappy (Micargi). The best part is the former owner didn't like the bright paint job so he had the entire thing powdercoated flat black and scraped off the white lettering on the tires. He also added powdercoated ape handlebars and an Electra Punk saddle. I'm thinking of switching to the Felt 1903 saddle with the springs in front and back and changing from BMX pedals to the Felt wide black cruiser pedals. Otherwise, the only thing I can see changing is possibly a design on the tank.
I have ridden it three times since buying it yesterday and it's fast becoming my favorite of the fleet.

Cool bike, I'd add some red pinstrips to it and maybe change the things you mentioned and go with it.

That's a really sweet ride, I'd consider painting the seat post black and maybe change the chain too for the super stealth look.

Nice score, looked at CL for the first time in awhile the other day, didn't see anything that good!

There's a sweet 2005 Felt Red Baron for sale here in San Diego for $225.
It's a one speed aluminum tank bike with the original Iron Cross design before it was made 'politically correct.'

Is that a suspension seat post ?

"Is that a suspension seat post ?"

It sure is. That and the fat tires make it one smooth ride!
