Building a 212 Predator Felt Faker?

[Tommy22]

I found the Ghetto Bikes website and his builds look pretty cool. I like the mount he has, but reading reviews, the guy seems like a crook. There are other people on eBay selling similar mounts (minus a bracket that goes across the top). Are these any good?

A lot of sellers offer these. They are all the same as far as I can tell.

Where is the best place to get a Felt Faker frame (or any solid frame that could handle the 212 predator)? A lot of eBay sellers advertise them as such, but they are a little different.

Just an idea I'm kicking around...

Thanks!

The deal with universal fit is it universally doesn't fit anything. Not always but usually.

This is the physical address of his so-called factory work shop, (house)...right in the heart of the LA ghetto...lol.
This pic alone, even without the reviews should say it all...lol...lol.

That looks quite a bit less secure than the ones on eBay that are $300.

Well, that's anything with motorized bikes, so nothing special there. Everything requires modification.

Yea, I read enough about him to know not to give him my money. Sad he is a crook.

I don't know if I'd call that a ghetto. Houses there are probably nearly $1mill. LA is another world.

You have to weld with the one I showed you

That old LA neighborhood probably turned into a gehetto at one time but looks like those houses are being restored

Looks like new windows, new roof, new stucko, but the house hasn't been painted yet
IDK maybe there's a shop behind the house That's a huge driveway.

I'm not surprised at all that these vendors selling Chinese motorbike parts work out of their garage
No way could anyone in USA today afford a storefront or warehouse to sell Chinese motorbike, engines, & parts

If ya look closely I think I see a container in the driveway, It's probably his factory/shop/warehouse

Selling Chinese motorbike parts where 1/2 of your shipment is defective, it's probably hard not to be a crook
