I don't know, I bet it probably rides just fine. But someone made the comment that it looked like Felt went on FGG for 10 minutes and came up with the design scheme afterwards. I thought it was a pretty appropiate comment. The point it is, the bike comes in some garish colors that are going to elicit a strong reaction whether you want it or not. If you like the way it looks, and the test ride was smooth, then go for it & be happy. But opening this bike up to the forum is asking for trouble. I think it looks like a peice of poo on toast. But that's me.
