FELT SPEEDWAY SCORE!!!

I don't normally say the price, but this time i will cause it was a sweet one. Please don't quote my post though so I can change it when I sell it. If you happen to be interested... no I won't sell it for my purchase price. Not even close. sorry.

I got the bike as is, with a Manitou Black fork, Spinergy SPOX front wheel, 3 piece cranks, 3 speed nexus shifter, mini ape hanger bars (no originals), electra stream ride seat, a spare set of dyno bars, the original rims AND tires and tubes... all for $xxx. And I didn't have to haggle . Came with 24" 3 speed rear wheel with arrow mtb tire, and 26" front spinergy with tioga tire.

He had the original fork, but it was all sorta scratched up on a daily rider (and was currently installed on said bike).

Pretty sure I'll fix, swap the fork for something, and flip. Stoked I got the original rims with it. Pretty sure it was a decent buy :lol:

The bars are too high for the bike to be a commuter unfortunately (I use a bike locker), but the amsterdam I found last week is filling that role nicely.

The tank on the bike is HUGE!

I think it needs some lower bars, a different fork (something black I'm thinking), and some tweaking. Or I might just get a different fork on it and flip it (after riding it for a while!)

Anyone know what the original retail was on this bike? The only info I can find is for the different youth size one...?

The bottom bike is the adult bike, but both pictures show the kids bike.

sweet. I was wondering why there were two in 05. Looks like the same model and specs was sold in 06.

I mounted the thick brick on the front rim and inflated it. I GOT to mount that thing. It looks awesome. I don't have any rigid forks that fit so I'm looking for something. So far I've only come up with a chrome springer fork that'd fit (but I might have to cut the canti studs off). =(

It seems like there's been a sudden rush of felt's for sale locally. this one is up now (but outta my price range) http://denver.craigslist.org/bik/2111657806.html

Nice, Now all you got to do is put those thick bricks in the background on the bike and ride it

Nice bike on the CL ad, I just don't like that style felt. I'm going to have to start searching in Colorado for a nice felt cruiser. :mrgreen:

Dude, the Felt speedway rides so sweet as a stock bike. I was considering putting my 3 speed or 7 speed hub on, but I don't know what to do anymore.
