This is probably the first adult bike to be shipped with a top tube pad. If you’re unfamiliar with the top tube pad phenomenon, it’s basically a hybrid of a doggie sweater and a bumper badger. Also, the nose-down saddle is the flat-brim 45-degree hat tilt of the cycling world, and Felt has done its homework by pre-tilting this one. Look for people to start rolling up at the local alleycats on these things soon. “Hey, guys. Can I play too?”
