Road Cycling - Question about Felt F35R bikes and...

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
Getting ready to spend $1500 to $2000 for a road bike and found a new Felt R35R within the price range. The bike is white and is equipped with Campy. From looking at www.feltracing.com they show the F35R's are painted red and are equipped with Shimano Dura-Race. Does anyone have any thoughts if the bike is a 2002 or older or custom or? Also wondering what people think about this model. I was originally thinking about a test riding a Cannondale R2000, Specialized Allez Comp or Specialized Comp Cr-Mo. Still open to others, but haven't test road anything yet, so I'm still open.
Thanks in advance!

Try to find a shop that carries a few of th ebikes you are interested in and try them out remember to bring your pedals and shoes in fact bring all your riding apparel and give each bike a real workout. I liked the Felt never tried it I opted for the Giant TCR 1 carbon. Once I rode carbon the aluminum didn't feel right. None the less Felt and Specialized are nice bikes.
I went to Supergo in Santa Monica, CA yesterday and they had some good bikes to look at ..I did find out what size I need.....I'll go back during the week and do some testing.
Still curious if anyone knows about the Felt F35R in white with Campy parts...see original post.
