Finally Finished Felt
Yay, yesterday I finally built up the Felt frame that's been sitting in my garage for awhile now.
Felt F50R frame
Reynolds Ouzo Pro Peleton fork
FSA carbon compact crank
Neuvation R28 SL2 rims
Tufo C S33 Special tires
Ultegra groupset
Right at 18 lbs without pedals. So much lighter and snappier than my OCR1.
(Of course I'll have to change the bar tape to some other color after Labor Day
)

Sea Green Sky, can you fix these imperfections and post another pic for re-inspection at 1400 hours?

I got excellent service from John at Neuvation. The RD was just nicking the drive side spokes when using the lowest gear so he FedEx'd me a new wheel with the spokes laced on the inside of the hub flange and paid for shipping mine back. He definitely won a repeat customer with his service.

cause he's leaving us! But don't think of it as me leaving, think of it as you gaining a place to crash should you ever venture to the Denver area. There may even be a cold Fat Tire Ale or 2 waiting for you as well.
So Sea Green Sky, are we seeing that ride of yours tomorrow?
*edit* -- OK, have fun in Oregon!

You can say bye in person when you visit Colorado. I'll be settled in by next Spring and will have some good rides routed. Then you can have the option of road tripping in Chimivee's VW Bus or flying and having your bikes flown. The cost of having the bikes flown out will be offset by the free hotel room, AKA my house.
