My bike was so tall compared to me, my starting technique is not even listed. I had to lay the bike at a 45 degree angle, put my foot on the pedal then right the bike while using my wieght to push down on the pedal my foot was on.

I decided to trade for the ocr one. I met the guy and tried his bike. I instantly fell in love with the feel. The guy kept it in excellent condition and it weighs the same as my felt f70. I'm going to put a rear rack to take the weight off of my back when I ride.

I'd like to thank everyone of you guys. Yous guys really helped me out and saved me from pouring more money in to a bike that was obviously wrong for me. Bike forums FTW.
