i have a 09 felt breed. it is awesome. [have you looked at the 2012 model? its sick]
i want a nature boy because eyelets/mounts/neon paint but lately i been wanting that new breed. that would be dumb having two breeds right...? but it looks like tron light cycle.
another option, if the bike needs versatility, is find an old miyata touring or equivalent. a lot of those late 80/early 90s touring bikes from companies with race heritage were just the roadie with canti studs and a degree slacker head and seat tubes. a while back i bought a 94 621ST that ended up being too small but it was totally race-able. just strip it of its gears and throw a cheap 'hanging at the back of the LBS' alex rims ss wheelset on.
you can beer in mess bag.
