    Felt Bicycle Pics

    I was able to spread the rear triangle by hand when I put it in. The 8 speed isn't that much wider, just enough to be snug. Might be a little tougher on an aluminum frame, so measure twice, as they say.

    I wasn't a big fan of the 3 speed on my MP, so I swapped it out for a Shimano 8 speed. Completely different bike now, I'm glad I did it. It's faster and I can climb any hill.

    1937 Elgin Oriole

    Some small updates. I've made a couple of seat changes, and I might go back to a long spring, but I'm going to give this one a shot for awhile. A different stem, partly because the first one I had on there was aluminum, and I want an all steel bike, and partly because it brings the bars a...

    1937 Elgin Oriole

    Thanks for the comments, I hope everyone out there is getting as much enjoyment from their bikes as I'm getting from this one. Seriously, I'm grinning like an idiot just thinking about it. No real changes yet, but here's an updated, clearer shot without all the shadows getting in the way.

    1937 Elgin Oriole

    I just got this frame a few days ago from another member. thanks again, yeshoney. He used it a few years ago in Build Off 7, and as much as that fantastic bike deserved to stay together, his willingness to part with the frame and my ability to rationalize made it happen. Check out the bike he...

    Felt Red Baron~MP Evo-mashification

    14g, but i don't recall the length. I have 26" rims, though, so probably not much help there. The shop that laced mine for me reccomended double butted for strength, particularly on the front since it/I make for well over 250 pounds and it's my only brake. I hear you on wanting to ride...
