Feather Cycles - Steel/Stainless Frame and Fork

Post by Richpips »

I bought this a while back. The previous owner had not looked after the paintwork, so it needed redoing. I didn't have a spare £800 for a Fat Creations paintjob, but it was suggested to me that a local powder coater would do a decent enough job. It took ages for the guy to get the job done and when I went to pick it up what wasn't wrapped in bubblewrap looked great. When I got home I unwrapped it and saw a few tiny bubbles and imperfections which made me pause building it up again. Annoyingly the bubbles are mostly on the stainless chainstay that he wasn't supposed to coat.
Meanwhile I spied another hand made steel frame and fork, my Rothair, and bought that.

I'm away at the moment so can't give you exact measurement but it fits me at 5'10". The frame number is 55
27.2 seatpost, 1" non threaded steerer, QR wheels, long drop rim brakes mudguard mounts

The pics show the candy red, and the bike as it was built up before. The previous owner had a bad back hence the stack of spacers :grin:

Ricky doesn't do F+F alone anymore, but as a guide, complete bikes are between 10 and 15K

You’d probably have a lot of interest on the LFGSS classifieds for this Rich FYI
