I tend to not want to agree with Pepe, but the guy is right.
Yeah, this guy has a really nice bike---for Someone Else.
if after all these posts he still doesn't want the bike, maybe the rest of us should read the title---he does not like the bike he bought, is the sense I get.
We all know the fall-back position: get a mid-'90s rigid MTB ...
I used to like motorcycles, and well being all draped over the tank is cool, after a while, in traffic, or in terrible weather I wanted to be sitting absolutely bolt upright.
It is just another option ... one that can be had on a bike as well. If that is what the OP likes .... he needs to go buy one.
Seeing as I supported him i think he ought to give me his Felt, though ... friendly gesture. I will pay shipping.
