cruisers are fun, esp. for $150! Looks like you found yourself a solid score.

those felt chainrings look like their designers had their heads in the trees. ;)

thanks.

yea, the chainring does look kinda goofy, but its thick and pretty solid.

haha, my bad with the nonsense underlying meaning BS... :bonk: I wasn't trying to say it looked goofy, it just looks very close to the basic design of the new "Tree Lite" sprocket, at least in silhouette, without the extensive machining.

it might be easer to ride if you lower the seat. 150 is a great deal!

Can I be the first trend snob to say slam that seat??? Well... I just did. Sick ride for sure, though.

Any chance of getting an approximate weight?

I've got to admit that is one of the only Alum 2-4's I would ride.

Really? thats a decent weight out of the box. I'm not a weight weenie, as long as it's within 5 pounds of 25 pounds I'm good.

I might look into one of these. Even though it's aluminum it still looks bullet proof.

i'd say its a good choice
it handles really nice, low standover, double wall rims, and pretty much everything on it is cromo,
they've got specs and stuff at www.feltbmx.com
