I have a little b@$+@rd too. I also have 4 pair of Girvins and none of them fit the little ........ How did you make the headset work. I've got 3 Felt Cruisers I can't finish until I get it right. I also live around the corner in Studio City. Thank you. - Gig
Thank you. It was a frustrating build. I could swear that thing didn't want to look good. I'm working on an Aluminum tank version of it with dual disc brakes and a Sturmey-Archer 8 speed and I'm keeping it. I'm pretty sure it won't look quite this good. The tank makes this frame. It was a bike I couldn't even sell for $250 but after I stripped that dove gray paint off this Navy and gave it the blues it paid me back in full and put extra in my pocket.

You can get the Sunlite version of the fork on Amazon. Basically the same except it's a bit wider at the top of the rear fork and also has mounts for disc and drum brakes. If you search Amazon for "sunlite deluxe springer" you'll find them. Here's a thread about them as well.

It would be nice if the photos were in the thread but I was able to select the link and open the Facebook page in a new window. Worth the look I think!
Here is one of my Fat Tire Ale cruisers. Picked up a pair to sell one and keep one.
Here is my recently rebuilt Felt Vintage Iron 3 speed.
Deep 6 with a few custom touches.

I've got a Bolt as well. I have serial #003 in new unmolested condition. It's in a box in my kitchen. I've got 4 other Felt Aluminum tank cruisers to ride on. Your bike looks great. - GigMy 2009 FELT Vintage Iron "Bolt". Replaced “Berm-Master” Knobby Tires with Thick Brick Cruiser tires.
Nothing but great ideas here. It still looks factory but is soooooo much better. Bravo.

I recently sold this bike that I built to keep (tears.) It began life as a Felt Vintage Iron 3 speed. It ended up as a modern day take on a 1914 Yale motorcycle. Dual disc brakes, wide rims (not Felt's,) leather seat, Felt Grips, Felt Cranks, Sealed Bottom Brackets & DiamondBack pedals.
If anyone knows how to convert skyways to disc let me know. I've wanted to run discs on this bike from day one. I'll buy 3 of your rear disc brake conversion kits if you have one. I'm nearly done with my revamped "Little ......." (which uses Skyways) and it will be an 8 or 9 speed with a lot of carbon fiber bolted to it so I'll need the stopping power to go with the extra going power.

So this is my revamped "Little ........" I am not quite finished. It has carbon bars, carbon forks, carbon seat post, Haro 3pc. Cranks, 24x3" tires and some other stuff.
Updated on 12/20/14. I took some fancy photos at a warehouse.
