Green,
I was in Performance Bike last Friday checking out their jerseys and how the sizing was (wound up getting Falconi jerseys from Love2Pedal - Hi-Viz yellow - NICE) and the store was empty except for me and the two guys working there...they were trying to push everything I glanced at down my throat. Looking at the bikes on display would have kept me there even longer (and my wife was at the mall wondering how long I was going to keep her waiting). I will have to go back and check them out.
Roll,
I thought about it...but I have decided against it for now. Next bike will be a project...this one will be off the shelf (and as was suggested, I will try the wheels that come on it and see how they hold up)
Craig,
Looked at the Felt Z85...EMS is a dealer but don't seem to carry any (either online or in my store), 2 other dealers in my state, with one being an hour away. I will keep them on the list...in that regard - for a couple $$$ more, the Z6 looks like an affordable carbon option - thoughts?
