Felt Red Baron Complete

[gokart25]

I finally done with my Felt Red Baron. It runs good, and here are some pictures. Now it needs to warm up, so I can ride for more than 20 minutes and then have to thaw out.

Awesome!! Love the ape hangers too!! Now you need to build a Snoopy Dogfighter, maybe a Schwinn spitfire silver & blue& red trim! LOL

Bike look great! I love the red baron look!

very nice. Now get a SBP Shift kit and call it a day!!!

Looks awesome Gokart!

Tank too. Whole lot of work. Really well done.

I certainly agree with the positive feedback you're getting here. The one suggestion I would make is to consider a front brake. It looks like you are counting on the rear coaster to do all of the work.

 

[gokart25]

Yeah, i would like to get the drum brake setup.

There have been a few of us that have had the Felt wheel rebuilt with the Sturmey-Archer drum hub. It's a plug and play with Felt flanged hub. The Abraham Linkage looks great on there too by the way. It looks like you didn't skimp anywhere on the build. I see KW and SBP too. Nice.

That is good to know, about the plug and play hub....I have been wondering about that. (if I would need new spokes)

You might reference this thread where biknut built a really sweet Deep 6 and rebuilt his front wheel with the SA hub (about page 7): http://motorbicycling.com/showthread.php?t=41183&page=7

I dig the apes too. To me, apes don't look good on every bike, but i think they are a great compliment to the Red Baron.

I see nothing but QUALITY here! Well done sir! Nice parts everywhere. Love the chaintensioner choice. PS: I agree totally on the front brake coments. You dont want to find youself in a situation where you wish everthing you have for more brakes.

Awesome looking bike !!

I concur with all of the positive input Gokart. You did good. It's a real eye catcher and the work and attention to detail is outstanding.
Thanks for sharing with us.

I too, am not an ape hangar kind of guy, but they look awesome on this build. Great attention to detail!

Looks great, any Felt looks awesome with a motor!

 

[runnermike]

That bike is sick! I love the whole look of it and the way it sits...beauty!

Another very nice Felt tank frame. Good job.

Harold b's advise is an easy way to get a front brake. The 70mm drum is the same exact size as your front hub.

I'm not a fan of the handle bars, buts that's just my opinion lol. Overall it looks like a sweet ride. Very neo retro looking! I give it 4 out of 5 wheelies!
