hmm. I looked at/tested the "muted red+black paint job" model year and all the components felt cheap to me -- I can't really put my finger on why...
After reading more and more about Felt, I feel like they are the Mercedes of bikes. Somehow convincing people their name matters more than their history or the quality of their products.
There is no question they have the visual design thing down, the bikes look hot but I think they are overpriced for what they are....
