Monday, June 30, 2014. FELT Q 720 Mountain Bike. Hello and Welcome,. Recently I had the pleasure of doing some work on a FELT Q 720 Mountain Bike.

So this was a real treat. And as it turns out, an educational experience as well. Above: Here is the old cassette which I de greased using White Lightning Clean Streak. Again I an...

Hugh`s bicycle blog: CSA 6 Speed Auto-Bike "Classic"

http://hughsbicycle.blogspot.com/2011/07/csa-6-speed-auto-bike-classic.html

Look familiar, they are. I originally used them on the Physio-Phat. But with the balloon tires there was almost no clearance. So I used them to brighten-up this very plain bike. I replaced the original non adjustable "all black plastic looking" brake levers with these. There was no water bottle cage. The origin...

But none the less it's been really cold! Above: The ice storm did make for some great photo ops. This was taken in the S...
