Felt Z-series looks great to me. So does Giant Defy Advanced. I ride Cervelo RS. I'm an old fart, I need some bike-correcting-my-tired-ass-mistakes stability. But I still like one-finger-lift weight.

Red is wowza, except the FD needs a little babying on simultaneous front and rear shifts, so I have to do sequential. Shimzo is the strongest, if you are an abuser of your equipe. It's a beauty. Campy is really nice, but bear in mind the genius Tulio died. His successors, smart but not geniuses.


SRAM guys still in genius generation. Even though they are from Chicago, not California.
