whats the frame? looks good!

It's a Felt Breed SSCX. Been good, but I'm probably getting rid of it now after six or seven years. It's a bit stupid with 135mm non-disc rear spacing with a proprietary boss/cog solution, so basically all rear wheel maintenance has to be bodged.

This is all sorts of wrong. Would love to ride it

What's that Handlebar?

I've no idea. Parts bin of a friend. It's 25.4.

Put some new (old) shoes on this rig. Think it qualifies.

This has been my project since autumn. Still needa replace some stuff but we getting there. Click the image for a few more photos

Good back drop for the tread!
The frame colour has held really well too.

Thanks man I'm still learning this bike photography thing... Yeah the color is what I love most about this thing! Paint chips are everywhere though but that's the way we like it in this thread right?

The rat life continues.

Long time reader, first time poster. Heres my daily beater.
I hope you find it thread-worthy.

Interesting forks, what are they?
