That is a very nicely done ride. You aced that one, it looks sweet. The original rat fink does nothing for me, but this version is rockin.

Re: Felt Torch Chopper I love the bikes Felt puts out. I was lucky enough to score this El Guapo off craigslist when I was looking to build pretty much the exact same style of bike. I'd love to get a torch/bandit/scythe frame though. I'd loose the high bars but that's personaly taste. My bike...

That is a very nice build. Love the bike, great job.

They look great, you are doing a nice job. What is the material you are cutting the badges out of? And could we see a photo of your saw. It looks like fun. Thanks, HB

I have ridden them, nearly got one for myself actually. Had I not landed my Felt El Guapo off craigslist for a nice price I'd be riding around on the Switchblade (same as the Cannibal). They are nicely finished, comfortable and pretty darn cool in my books. They ride surprisingly well but you...

Yep, scam. Move onto next buyer. CL is full of this kind of thing. At least they have finally stuck up something about the well known car scams. Deal locally, with cash and hopefully you can't go wrong.

That's a sweet bike Daniel. Love it. Plenty of good usable space in the frame to mount batteries and I like the rack you've used. Bummer about the burnout. Do you mind letting us know what batteries you used and why they had a thermal meltdown? Not rated to your current draw? Lipo batts? What...

Choppersus.com has a selection of 24"x3" More here: http://www.bicycledesigner.com/partsmai ... Type=tires But they are relatively common and a range of brands, Kenda, Shwabbe (sp??) etc. The Felt thick brick white walls are available from some place in Canada that sells low rider and chopper...

I dont mean to be moving away from the original topic but hopefully it's relevant for the original poster to glean info from. Regarding the chopper fork, yep Choppersus has some chopper forks with disk tabs so that's a viable option for those wanting to drop in a front wheel with disk. I've...

This is what I have planned for my ride, turn my cruiser into an electric cruiser. I have a Felt El Guapo that I'm trying to turn into a reasonable option for getting to work on. It's a little heavy and slow with the one speed to ride to work, but I love the bike and riding it so a little extra...

Exactly. The problem is "you" buy an accessory because "you" want the accessory and "you" see the value in it for the price you pay. The person buying the bike probably couldn't care less that it had a $75 sprocket, after all a sprocket is a sprocket is a sprocket, in reality most would simply...

Here's another pic just for giggles with some flipped bars for the dragster/boardtrack/bobber look. Rides pretty comfy in this position too, however I'd like to find a way to push the seat back another 3 or 4 " though and lower it right down near the wheel. A bent post might do it but it might...

Thanks guys, Have to admit the look is growing on me everyday, so I am thinking I probably wont change the paint job on this one after all. May add some bobbed fenders with pin striping though. Its actually a pretty sweet ride and with those fatties and the spring seat it makes for a pretty...

Cheers. Got my answer, many thanks. HB

Thanks for that. I appreciate the response and expected as much but thought I would ask from someone who knew. I'll look for 26" fenders. Cheers, HB

LOL. :lol: No offence intended with the ape hangers comment, sorry :D I do like them on the whole and right bike but I just didn't think they worked on this one. Made for a far too upright riding position and the distance between headset and seat were too close for the apes IMO. My next...

Hi guys. Just got a Felt El Guapo with 24" rims and 3" Felt Thick Brick tires and I want to get some fenders for it. Going to do a little customizing and want to end up with a boardracer/bobber style look. I want them to match the size of the wheel as close as possible as I want to mount them...

Hi guys, just a quick intro before I start posting. Just got back into the bike scene after moving overseas so starting to set myself up in a new place. Went looking for something cool to ride and came up with this one off craigslist. Felt El Guapo, cruisy bike and nice to ride. Loving the...
