Keep us posted on the evolution.

Got a bike now and was just looking for some forum sympathy instead of advice (no "hey, what's your favorite carbon bike for $2500"). The Felt was an upgrade/present to myself which is why I'm not totally bummed out or bitter like many of the prior Felt posts. The LBS has been very cool and straight forward with me but it still stinks and has made it hard for me to concentrate at work. Mabye I should just consider my down payment an installment on a Christmas present...
