Now we're talking! But I might be just slightly biased....

I dig Felt. And that is a pretty nice bike.

I would recommend not repainting it and just letting it wear its scars. No worries about rust, right?

well, technically the back is a unicycle wheel, but yeah.

and, the saddle angle looks really awkward, but if you saw a person riding it, it would make perfect sense.

Nice, can't wait to see it with those drops and those white grips, I have been thinking about doing it for my bike for the past month or so, but I am split between the b123aa and the RB021 pursuit bars (I will put white grips either which one I go with).

Hell, maybe I will get both! can just swap them whenever I want anyway!

bigbris1, have you thought about riding with a brake? it's a lot safer. also, do you wear a helmet? that is also safe.

Dumpsterlife, have you thought about releasing the tight grip you have on my nuts? Circulation issues, plus my pubes get jealous.

Thanks!

I almost hate to say this but, I actually dig it.

Any more info on that frame? Where'd you score it?
