I tried this bike out yesterday. Seems like a nice component spec--pretty well set up w/o any real weakness. Very light. I did notice some brake shudder--the shop thought that this came from the canti hanger coming from the stack instead of the crown. Interesting. My only problem was fitting on there--it's a long way to the hoods on the 59cm frame. I'll need to ride the Singlecross, which seems like a nice bike with a crappy spec.

I got got a Felt RX1 that I love. I had to get a 53cm and I normally ride a 58 in the Trek. Both top-tubes are the same length.

I'm looking into one of these. The shop I work at just picked up Felt. Looking at the geometrys they dont look that big? The 51 has a 53cm TT which is pretty standard...HT is pretty standard too. Maybe they have really long reach handlebars?

Part of my problem is my body. I'm 6'3" with most of that in legs. The Felt is compact, so you end up with a pretty small triangle--it's hard for me to ge tthe seat up all the way.
