I don't feel Felt went "hipster," enough! It's what sells them.
I personally only want a frame and fork, raw, unpainted, and rough looking. Is that wrong?

Without over analyzing their lineup, I'd take an El Niño in a minute.

I liked the '12 and before models better. That's what I got my son. Now they look "weaker" to me.
Honestly I'm not a fan of the new Felt's And they've gotten way too pricey. My LBS dropped them because of it. Other companies are doing more for less and they weren't selling Felt.
Oh, and I'm also upset with Felt because you used to be able to buy parts directly from them. Now you have to go through a Felt dealership... the closest to me is now over an hour away... and oh by the way they were out of stock of that part till October (maybe). So... see ya Felt. Good luck.
I mainly like the military look of it (my wife will tell anyone my favorite color is OD Green) I agree on the parts, I actually had another bike company tell me they was getting away from selling stuff like their rims online because they wanted to reserve their parts for bike owners that own their bikes.
I'm with you Crash, but you probably already know that! I still think getting rid of the old, more squared-off tank frame style was a HUGE mistake. If FELT still has the tooling to make that frame style, they really should bring it back.
I am interested in the tires on the MP though. could they be bringing back the 26" Berm Masters?!!!!
Also, what's the deal with the MP description being recycled over and over? There hasn't been a front rack on the MP since 2012. They quite obviously have now cheaped out on the rear rack and saddle bag and the "full coverage" fenders that they tout sure look like bobbed fenders to me, even though those are still mentioned in the description. My guess is that they ditched some accessories to get the price lower but is it that hard to write some new copy?
Whatever.... the old MP is pretty much superior in every conceivable way:
Just sayin'.......
You guys are lucky, by time anything gets to us in the UK its virtually doubled in price what you pay even the parts! Anyhoo I like the fat cruisers, something different, I will probably get the float 3 speed but I want the disk brakes from the El Nino I wish they had more options for more gears also, The El Nino looks good but need the bars flipped back round, I wish someone would make this with maybe an alfine 11 speed or rhollhoff 14 speed hub keeping the cruiser looks but adding a modern twist, maybe a gates belt drive, integrated lighting etc etc, yes I know its not in keeping with the cruiser look but there more a nod to a style more than an actual cruiser so they can cater to a wider audience!
These are all nice. I will stick with the aluminum cruiselite frame bikes.

I don't know which parts you need but I have been ordering their parts from them for years. I understand what you wanted may have never made my parts list. Last week I received new handle bars like those on my polished Slater. I even got a set for a friend. I encourage you to have a look back at their site. I know when they run out of stock they recommend an LBS. Once inventories are restored the website gets updated.

Gig's right; I just double-checked--- they let me put in-stock parts (including wheels, tires) into my "cart" online. I didn't check-out or anything, but it does all work...
