gender reassignment BACK FROM THE DEAD!

Re: gender reassignment ALMOST FINISHED

I have been trying to get wheels, tires and grips from Felt for literally 2 YEARS! My local bike shop says things are on back order and the other day they just told me to forget about it. I contact felt wondering if its the local rep that is the problem but they blame the bike shop. I have tried two shops with no luck at either so I'm blaming Felt. If you are not going to sell parts then don't advertise them on your web site.

I went to my local felt dealer and had the same problem, had no luck on ebay, got lucky with Curtis and got his last set. Shoot him an e-mail, he's a heck of a guy and might possibly be able to help out.

I'm not sure of a name brand, but they're called clubman bars. Got them from Chaingang lowrider.

Re: gender reassignment ALMOST FINISHED

After a long time of procrastination, I've got the bike completely dissasembled and ready for paint. I'm going to go down the automotive paint route for a good, durable finish. I'm to the point where I'm comfortable with pinstriping, the main tank will say "Lightning Flyer" and tank will be two toned. Sorry guys, the gender reassignment name is no more. Pictures are soon to come....

Re: gender reassignment R.I.P.

sorry to hear that...i was really looking forward to seeing her done

Yes, it is back! Well, what's left of it :roll: I plan on getting this thing back together but on a smaller budget this time. Probably keep my original plans of bland yellow with green wheels but all of the parts will be different (whatever I can scrounge up) Wish me luck.

Glad to see it is back! if you plan on going skiptooth, you are welcome to the old sprocket.

glad to see her coming back to life again! and btw.....i still say leave it pink(seriously)

Luckily I had an old pair of hubs, and a new pair of rims and brand new spokes sitting in my parts pile. I've changed my color scheme to royal blue, everything is going to be blue, very little chrome, maybe creme felts again. Here's a sneak pic of the color. Bike is going to be named (you guessed it!) The Royal Blue.

 

[GTCOMA]

Wow, that is going to look nice!

you still want that skiptooth sprocket? what type of hub is that?

 

[necessaryevil]

Here is a crude idea of what I want to do. I have no idea what dimensions these motors really are (250cc Lifan) so I took a guess. The bottom tube will be redone with a motor mount along with a mount on the seat tube and lower top tube. I just need to save for the motor first. I have a strange feeling this engine will rip apart a bicycle frame though. :shock: It's all just a fun dream as of now anyways.

 

[blink]

holy crap.... that would be intense!

 

[sensor]

yeah that might be a bit much for a bike but then again...youll never know unless you try it :wink:
might be able to find a cheap honda 110 somewhere....

Oh baby!...I can't WAIT to see this one done! 8)
