That Felt isn't bad. I spoke with Jim Felt a couple of times at a trade show down here in Melbourne. He seemed okay for a baby boomer engineer welder product ho' kinda guy. I think he did a lot of work with Easton when it was developing it's Aluminium for bikes, which accounts for the multi-shaped tubing on all of the Felts.

Granted, the TK1 doesn't have a lot of street cred short of being matt black, but it's probably not a bad buy if the price is right. The geometry is pretty cool, although the 4 sizes is pretty limiting.

I still gotta insist though - aero on the street loses you points straight away. Same goes for the Aluminium.
