Which Felt do you like better?
OK. I posted a thread a while back about my Felt F75 frame cracking. It was actually a "separation" at the carbon seatpost fron the aluminum tube. Anyways, I had my LBS go about the warranty replacement and Felt replaced my F75 frame with the F65 frame. I'm pretty sure that it's the exact same frame except for the color scheme.
So I'm polling you BF folks to see which one you like better. I personally liked the matte black w/ yellow a bit better but I really do like the brushed aluminum w/ red. I was a bit upset at first cuz Felt never asked if it would be OK to change the frame color. But, like I said, I like it. At least they sent me the matching fork. Although I did have to replace the seat.
So, do you like the old or the new? Vote above.
F75.
F65.

I like the black, very cool looking bike. The silver is nice aswell, but I would pick the black over silver.

Own the 2005 F65, Blue and White. My first BMX bike was a Chrome framed GT performer with black wheels. So, i ahave always liked bikes with chrome frames. F65.

I like the 75 better.
That said, OCPers will be slightly more impressed with an F65 than the 75. So your road worthiness just jumped a couple of points in their eyes

Here I am back in this thread to say that in person the black looks much better than it does in pictures. I happened to see one in Central Park today.

Its Freakin HammerTime!!!
I think they both kick an extreme amount of ass! I drove a long way to the closest Felt dealer around here today to fit a New F3c. On man, That is the sweetest bike I have ever seen. I like them both though

What I'd really like to know is if the Felt felt as good as other bikes feel, or if you felt the Felt felt lacking in feeling in spite of what others felt.

Silver F65 for me, the black will get scratched and chipped in time, while the silver will remain pristine and won't look used. It looks like a Ti frame even though its AL

Man, you're relentless
. And just for the record. I took the F75 pic before I "flipped it" too. It was brand spanking new when I shot the pic. Give me break!
