Got My Felt! F4C Baby!
I just got my Felt today, and sized her up on the trainer... I must say WOW! After running it on the trainer for a bit to make sure things were good, I took here out on the road and the F4C flies like a mofo. Bumps aren't harsh like my former Specialize Allez, and it's just as fast (if not faster). I just love the frame and color, and the price was right.
As of now, I'm riding on the stock seat while I wait for my new one. The stock seat is stiff in the center, and it hurts my bum. I'd also like to keep the Shimano wheels as my trainers, so I may get a set of Eastons, Mavic, or Fulcrums. We'll see... maybe I'll go the custom route. Lastly, my pedals are Crank Brothers Candy SL. I like them WAAAAAYYY better than road pedals, and the Crank Bros road pedals are to much for me at the moment (I have other things I'd rather upgrade).
Again, this bike gets a very high recommendation from me.

Yeah, that saddle is definitely one of the bike's sore spots.
