Here is the 2009 Felt X:City D. So far I have removed the Albert mustache bars and installed my Scott AT-2 LF cowhorn bars, flipped the stem and added Candy-1 pedals. Not bad for $390 including tax at the LBS. I have everything needed to make this a drop bar conversion, except for the shorter stem. I don't want to go much shorter than 80mm (from 110mm), but I have previous experience in conversions stretching me way out on the frame. If anyone has a 80mm 26.0 clamp 7 degree or less stem lying around, I have lots of stuff to trade
This rig rolls so much faster than I anticipated for a 24 lb bike, but it could be the new bike placebo. It feels faster than my road bike, and will get all five days this week of the commute. Looking for ways to pimp it out without spending too much. Ideas welcome.
