Felt F4 owners?
The F4 looks to be a great deal at $2400 with full carbon and Ultegra/Dura Ace group.
A big step up from the other bikes in that price range, compnent wise. Any Felt owners in the house? |
Brakes are 105, BTW, or at least they are on the one I looked at in a shop today. I, too, would love to hear what F4 owners have to say as it's on my short list for the new bike.

I had an F55 (an Al bike, not carbon like the F4) for 2 years and had a weld break at the chainstay/BB junction. Felt has agreed to replace it on warranty. So, I am not sure about Felt's overall quality. Likely it is no better or worse than most bike manufacturers that get frames from Taiwan - which is almost all of them. But, I can say that they stand behind their warranty.
I think the bike is a really good value. |

I picked up an F3C last year on closeout. Great bike. Change the seat, throw some kool stop break pads on, and go ride it.
