QR Code Link to This Post
I purchased this bike brand new in 2012 and due to health issues have never had a chance to ride it more than a few yards to test new parts. Yes, even though the bike was brand new, I installed the top of the line alloy crankset with better bearings for Felt cruiser bicycles, a brand new genuine leather Brooks saddle with springs for cruising comfort, a genuine leather Brooks tool bag, and the original headset was replaced with a Chris King 2-Nut threaded headset (improved bearings and races compared to original).
This is a gorgeous bicycle in like new condition. You will not find one nicer than this example! It is basically brand new with no wear whatsoever.

If you're looking for an old-school cruiser, the Chief is just the ticket. Inspired by the famous Indian Motorcycle, it features a classic springer saddle, cream-white 3-inch-wide tires and a relaxed riding position that lets you enjoy the scenery.
