Hi, guys. I got this bike originally for my wife who wasn't quite thrilled as much as I hoped. So I skipped plans for electrifying it for now and just did some mods for more comfort. I changed the seat position, installed the seat and fork, installed the disk brake and the revo-shifter and put other bars. It is my "go to the supermarket bike" now.
We had great weather today, so when I got sent for some groceries I used the opportunity to cruise around the neighbourhood and take some photographs.
I have no idea what brand is it, it has a steel frame, fairly light i would say. It has 1" steer tube and has BSA bottom bracket. And it has a 7 speed Shimano hub. It has a coaster brake and V brakes.
The double pipes on the "tank" made the linkage fork an obvious choice. I deliberately went with a 28" instead of 26" because I wanted that elevated look in the front.
Seat frame, brake levers, chainring, fork spring and brake disk all make for small accents.
I don't know why this photo shows like this, I did rotate it, and on my computer it shows vertically.
Not really happy with the rear light positioned under the seat, it is quite the fummeling to switch it on. It has to go on the seatstay on the left side. The front lamp was the original one from my Felt.
Since the fork only came in black the seat post and bars would have to be black as well.
The disk brake was taken from an MTB donor. I played a lot with the stem position, direction and orientation, as well as the bars angle till I got it right.
An earlier stage. Notice the ugly fenders. The stem was a trully beautiful piece, it is 1" threadless with variable angle. The Felt seat is useless, I Felt my internal organs rearanged after that ride.
First photo I made after it changed owner.
