Felt S22 Test Ride
I went into an LBS with a mate who's looking to get into the sport. I spotted this in a size 52 frame, and asked the dude if I could try it out on their trainer-As I sat on and moved my arms to the aerobars, I felt a hole in my wallet rip open. Then I started pedaling, flat tops with sneakers and jeans, still loving it, not the slightest bit uncomfortable (I'm very flexible), and did I mention loving it? The R500 wheelset was a let-down, and would be swapped out with my MOst Panther CX's. For a Disc wheel I'd have a crack at laying up a CF cover for an old sora hub Mavic CXP21 combo.
I'm was planning on a TCR with 2010 Ultegra on it after christmas, now I'm considering saving some $$$ and getting 105-anything saved is going straight on the TT bike.
I'm hooked.

You felt the wheels were a let down on the trainer? You must have a sensitive derriere.

Are you planning on doing Tri's or racing TT's?
If the answer is yes, then get it. If the answer is no, then you don't need a funny bike...

I've got the S32 and it's way faster than I will ever be. I can only imagine that the S22 is even better.
I haven't had any issues with my r500's but then I'm a clyde and I would probably destroy race wheels in short order. I'm sure I run out of juice way before the stock wheels start holding me back.
