Thanks....I had a 2006 LeMond Chambery before this and made the upgrade to CF. I love this Felt and I have moved from the "B" group to the "A" group since getting the Felt. The new wheel set is also very nice upgrade to the OEM wheel set. Not sure what I want to upgrade next but since this frame is the same as the higher end F series it might be the components. It has a full 105 group right now.

yeah i waited for the 2012 to be released, when i saw the pics and the specs i was disappointed so i searched for a leftover 2011. luckily the most kickass bike shop ever had one in my size and got me a great deal on it. i recently drove two and a half hours to return for some new bar tape and a stem. i'll pretty much look for any excuse to drive up there. i always have a good time hanging out in that shop.

Another picture, but yet still from iPhone.
Argon 18 Krypton Fulle Ultegra, upgraded from a Trek 1.1.
This is a lot of bike for my skill set.

That picture was taken from my backyard and I'm glad you liked the view. It's a beautiful place to live.
I love my force group as well. My other bikes have Shimano and SRAM has it's advantages. I also love that Selle San Marco Regale saddle. It's really comfortable on the long rides.

Don't think I've ever posted this here yet. The saddle is about half an inch lower now. I'm slightly afraid that the frame is too large for me.

I was told the frame was a 56, I have a feelings that it's larger. I can't find a geo chart on it at all. I'm 5'11 on a good day.

Here is a very informative article about how to size these frames:
https://www.bikesportmichigan.com/reviews/colnago.shtml
Boil down is you need to go smaller and use a set back seatpost and a long stem to make them fit right. For comparison you can see my 58cm and appriciate how much seatpost it is showing.

Good luck!
