We don't have the Coda Elite in your size, sorry about that. Instead I got this brand new 2016 Felt Verza 30, I knock it down to $850 for my screw up.

Test road it, it was nice. But god damn that color is atrosious!

Come back after that and just asked to ride a Chromoly frame for comparison since I have ridden nothing but Aluminum. So I went out on just a standard 2015 Coda, I really like the ride of the frame and did really notice a difference in shock absorbtion.

So after I get back from riding that, he says " so how did you like that?" I told him I actually really liked it. He says, "ya you really need to ride them back to back to notice the difference." Well since you like that, I think you might like this, he says. He point up to the bikes hanging from the ceiling.

The bike was hanging with all of the sold bike, with a receipt on it. Someone had the bike brought over to purchase, but ended up buying a different bike. So there it sat.

I took it out for a spin, I really like the feel of it and it fit really well without any adjustments.

I will be picking up the bike on friday. I will post some pics of it if anyone cares.

Thank you everyone for all of your help, it was greatly appreciated!
So did you get the Coda Comp or the Coda Sport?
