Great looking bike! I own the same 2006 model shown here. Nice touch removing the yellow decal from the stays. That makes the bike look much cleaner. What pedals do you have on this? I am currently using some old school pd-6401 shimanos a friend gave me. Also, do you know the overall weight with cages and pedals? I am just curious because Bicycling magazine listed it around 18.5lbs without the pedals.
I agree that this stock saddle is quite uncomfortable. I suffered through 2000 miles before swapping to the Fizik Arione. I am much happier with this upgrade. I definitely recommend a saddle change for anyone on this bike. I am currently looking to upgrade to a lighter wheelset on my felt as well. The stock wheels are very solid and stay true, but I am looking for something a little lighter.
