Great looking bike, I like the 'aged copper' look you've got going on the rims and handlebars. Can you give a closeup of the extended stem? That's pretty interesting too. Good to see that Felt is producing the brown Quick Bricks again, now if they'd only make brown Thick Bricks... :?

Cheers!

Interesting colors 8) looks comfy to ride , how did you do the neck extension ?

Picked up a pile of parts bikes. The stem was attached to a mountain bike frame. So, I guess you could say I didn't do anything but use the part :)

I'll get some close ups soon. Still need to repair and attach the chain guard and paint/fix the headlight. Used Rustoleum hammered copper for the rims, drum brake and handle bars. Frame and fork are granny apple green powder coat.
 
Cool! Kind of looks like the original green some of the Western Flyers had. Did you straighten the fork or replace it?

Petrohead spent a good portion of his time on the fork. Chopped a steer tube off a ladies Schwinn fork, still had to add a piece of pipe to make it long enough and welded it onto the CWC fork. Looked like the original fork was poorly repaired at some point, and the weld had broken loose and the steer tube was bent.

Glad you were able to save it. The bike looks great

Very cool! I did a matching Liner for my wife and there are no fender holes for an ornament, so I will pass. Thanks for the super offer though.

Nice Harq! Good to see that fork works :lol: . Love the green! Now lets go riding!

Word! Just dropped the kids off with grandma and grandpa for spring brake. This is the kind of week for me to get over there. I'll be in touch soon :D
 
Okay, I don't think I'm really going to get around to taking the neck and neck extender apart for a pic. It's just a standard neck stem on the bottom half and a non-threaded steer tube for the top half with the stem bolt set down in the tube.
