My Felt was an awesome value. I got the F35 a few years ago with Ksyrium Elites, Ultegra brakes/shifters, DA derailleurs and cassette, FSA carbon cranks for $1800 which could not be beat at the time. Plus I really liked that bike shop. 10,000 miles later I still love the bike even though I got a new Kuota with Easton carbon tubulars.
