I'm biased towards the Felt. I have the Felt F75 and love it. Great bike!
Independent of fit, either bike will be a good choice. Factor in fit and the choice will be clear... at least I hope it will be
. Good luck Ben, and remember to test ride as many bikes as you can.
Canned answer I know but worthy of repeating.

Dude, you could totally get a Scott S20 for that......There are so many other bike companies than Trek and Felt. Do some searching around

The F65 is a really good model this year. They improved the wheelset and went compact, its a very good bike. I have to 05 and like it alot. Just dont call it the 'F-Bomb' that's my bikes name

Another one for Felt.Fast bikes! Untortunately I sold my perfectly good one for no reason,now have to get another one.
Trek maybe good bikes but the cheaper ones just don't stand out in the looks department

P.S. I'm not a Trek hater, I also have a Trek 7200FX which is also a great bike.

The Trek is a great bike, but so is the Felt. The F65 is full Ultegra where as the 2100 is 105/Ultegra mix. That alone would lean me toward the F65. The F65 is actually on par with the Trek 2300. For the cost of the 2300, you could buy the full Dura Ace equipped Felt F55. How the bike fits you is even more important. However, if you like the fit of both, go for the F65.

The Trek is a great bike as is the Felt. However, the Felt F65 is full Ultegra while the 2100 is Ultegra 105/ mix. The F65s equivalent is actually the Trek 2300. However ffor the cost of the 2300, you can basically buy the Dura-Ace equipped Felt F55.Try both and buy the one that fits you best. IMO the F65 is the better buy.
