Felt scythe (short edition)

[Green-Chain]

Few months ago, i bought a scythe frame with the fork. Nothing else.

After some researches, i wondered if it was possible to mount à 26" rear wheel.

A little test gave me the answer:

26" x 64mm rim / 2,35" tire

So after that, i did my order... :mrgreen:

26" x 3" polished rims (front and rear), 26" x 2.35" project 346 white wall tires, 140mm crankset project 346, the saddle is a Brooks B66 black and the grips are from Brooks too.




As you can see on the next one, the fork will be shorter about 15cm:



I've the choice of powdercoat paint for the frame and the fork, the colour is a cobalt blue with flakes and a "sand touch".





And finally, this is where i am:







I need a dished sprocket, install the bearings for the crankset, prepare the chain, and adjust the shifter cable.

Very good result! Like the colour as well. I wouldn't have swapped the Crazy Bob for a w.w.,though (but that's personal taste :wink: )
All in all: thumbs up, buddy!!!

Thanks guys !!!

About the crazy bob, they were not mine, it was a loan just for the test :wink:

Just a little thing to resolve, the bottom bracket start to creak... :? or maybe the saddle...
