Felt Taxi Cab Bike Build

[Vlammende]

Hello!

First, my name is Egzon, 17 years old and from The Netherlands! Since i was young i always loved to work on bike's (Painting and pimping them just to have the coolest bike on school :lol: ) And i still love to work on them (have now 5 bikes in the garden hehe :lol: ). On Tuesday i bought myself a Felt Taxi bike for just €100,- with some little work on it. But i wil fix it! Now picturetime!

On my way to home;

How the bike was;

Removed the reflectors and the bagagecarrier;

Cleaned the tires & Rims and some shots;

My plans;

- Matte black chopper vork (like thisone)
- Babyblue frame color
- Other handlebar
- Brown (brooks) seat and brown grips
- And some other little stuff

Hope u like it so far :wink:

Greets!

That's gotta be my favorite Felt just based on the theme, sounds like your plans will be pretty sweet too though !!!

You're scoring some good finds! I drool ever so slightly every time I see a Felt frame, knowing that it's an awesome bike as is, and a blank canvas for custom builds.

btw, that old ratty Brooks saddle is the sexy hotness.

Kick!

Taxi bike project is on a hold now, because my neighbor gave me a bike for free. So now i'm respraying it and bought a nice brooks seat for 2,50 Euro's :lol: Some pics ;

(i already had the handlebar and the seat)

The seat

Thats it for today! Gonna buy a matte black spraycan for the mudguards tomorrow. Cant wait to put it back on wheels and take it for a ride

Yo Vlammende, that was a very good bargon,only 100 Chocolate-coins for this bike. You scored yourself the nicest modell of all the Felt bikes.
Down below 2 links to a nice solution for the shifter (on a Felt). Like to see some more pics. :mrgreen:

Back to the cruizer. Yesterday i finished the paintwork on the mudguards and fork (the underside of the mudguards is also orange now)
