The Z85 was awesome. Smooth, quiet and fast. I rode with my Brooks saddle. The stock white seat and grip tape had to go. I am 100% completely satisfied with the Z85. Saw tons of Specialized, Trek, and Cannondale bikes...Felts were pretty rare. Didn't see another Z85.
I also swapped out the wheels with some Forte Titans from PB. They weigh about half of the stock wheels, plus they look great.
