Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Finally going carbon!!!!!!

Finally going carbon. Just ordered a Felt F4 and now the bummer is I have to wait. I am not a patient person so this is going to be a rough week. Got 10 percent off, not a huge savings but still $300. I am really looking forward to the new Ultegra groupset and should be a great bike.

A week isn't so bad, i had to wait 6 weeks to get my first road bike. So when my second one came in, in under a week i thought it al went quite fast.
Anyways, enjoy your new bike

It won't be so bad, before you know it you will be picking up your bike and enjoying it. It took a week to get my Trek Domane 4.5 and it also took a week to get my wife's Trek Domane 4.3 when we ordered hers. The wait was not bad at all.

It's not going to be ridden, that's what the F75 is for. I figure I can stare at it and polish it on occasion. Just kidding, it's going to be a work horse.

Turns out I wont be going carbon till late February. The bike is back ordered and that is when it should come in. That is cool though, I have been hearing good things about it and the bike shop is going to upgrade the wheels for me for being a loyal customer. That and the 10 percent off its turning in to a really good deal other than the wait. As long as I get it before spring I will be happy. Plus I have my current bike to ride so no real hardship on my part.
