Troy Lee Designs Felt

[late for dinner]

Apparently the paint and decal graphics are really nice under that coat of darkness.
I bought the bike yesterday primarily for the killer wheels and tires.
Do you have any tips in overspray removal from tires?
I don’t think I’ll invest any time on the frame paint, but if you know of a quick and safe method, I might reconsider.

I'd try Acetone on the tires to remove overspray.

I trust your advice Steve. Thank you.

I trust your advice Steve. Thank you.

Just be sure to take it easy with it because it can and will remove the original graphics on the tires as well.

Thanks for the caution.

I just decided to try a little clean up on the frame and what was hidden under the spray bomb is in very good condition.
I’m still keeping the rims & rubbers and think this frame will now find a new home much easier.

Is that one of the aluminum frames?

 

[RustyGold]

The welds say, 'yes'!

 

[late for dinner]

Yes the Felt is Aluminum with very nice welds.
I thought I’d try the wheel set out on the Colson first. I think I’d have fitment issues with the springer on my Colorflow fork. Maybe later though...

How much do you want for the frame and other parts?

 

[late for dinner]

I’m in Canada Wizzletooth,so we likely don’t want to go there because of shipping costs and it’s a loooong way to Tucson!
But...there are items I’d liberally trade for if one was so inclined.
It’s posted locally as shown for @$250 Cdn. ($187US). Is that reasonable?

 

[late for dinner]

I couldn’t just leave the frame laying around so it’s now sporting the 7 speed set from the Colson.

I’ve had that wheel set a very long time and used it on my Build Off bike years ago.
I’ve long considered mating a nice old rim set with those hubs.

Good price,wish I was Canadian for more than one reason

....and SOLD! The frame set just went to a new home and the wheel set remains in my wheel depository.
The nice gentleman also left this solid Brass ship light as part of our agreement.
I wish I was into American bikes 20 years ago when I drove long haul from Toronto to South Texas every week. It would have been so much more cost effective, convenient and with a waaaay broader variety.
