I purchased a Felt Z70 in June 09. It was my first road bike and a transfer from a hybrid. I have logged 1200 miles on the Z70. This is a truly amazing bike. I have no comfort issues, it is light and well constructed. I purchased this on the advice from the bike shop owner after much discussion. He told me I would feel like I cut the anchor loose from the hybrid. I ride 3-4 MPH faster on the Z70, can go farther each ride and after just a short breather feel like I could keep going at the end of my rides. Having no road bike experience prior to this I have no regrets with my purchase. This may be said about many road bike brands, but I will say the Felt Z70 performs beautifully. I can not tell you one thing I have found that I did not like about this bike.
I have been cycling two years now and since I purhcased the Z70 I can tell you I ride as much as I can. I have been transformed physically and I now consider myself a serious cyclist. I initially started cycling after a diagnosis of diabetes and found that walking to lose weight was beating my feet. I started cycling and purchased a hybrid. The road bike became a desire and finally made the move and do not regret the purchase in any way. The Z70 was everything I was told it would be. For my first road bike I was guided very well and have a terrific bike.

I don't trust old guys, but I'll listen politely.
