Bought this on craigslist for 50 bucks...
Then saw a great Felt cruiser I really liked and thought it would be a cool direction to head...
...took it apart, and began to learn how a bike even goes together, and learned how I was going to paint it. Turns out...it would have been easier if I took the spokes out first.
but, after painting some parts, and sanding down the rims to RE-PAINT them, I was waiting on some parts in the mail, so i went to a bike-shop and bought a re-assembled bike for 40 bucks just for the tires and wheels and put them on my bike...
I also kept the handle bars and stem. So far, I repainted the fork the seat stem, and the pedal cranks. But the frame is the only thing I haven't changed at all. This is what I've got so far. Waiting on the vinyl decals i made to come in....
I know some of you hate it, but I really like the flipped handle bar look. Thiss is what it looks like as of now. I'll show you more when I get the rest. I painted the old chain guard flat black. And i'm waiting on my decals still! Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated as this is my first time attempting a project of this kind ever!
