Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I am planning to buy a Trek Madone 4.7. This will be my first Carbon bike besided my Trek 1500 (Road) Aluminium. I want to review little more before purchase. How do you rate Trek with Felt (F5-Team) and Fuji of same type and price range as this Trek Madone 4.7.

Have you compared the ride and power transfer quality, in Felt and Fuji? In my area there is no Felt or Fuji in stock, for a test ride.

Get the Felt. If not, get the Fuji.

However, if you are certain that you are unable to test ride either the Felt or the Fuji - then go with the Trek for sure.

I'm biased towards Felts though, and I just don't like Treks.

go for the trek. i went from a trek mountain bike, to a 1000, to a 5 series madone, and now on to a 6 series madone. the biggest step up was from the aluminum 1000 to the carbon madone; i wish i had just gone all out at the get go and gone carbon. wish i could be of more help with the other brands but this is my incredibly trek biased .02 cents.

Trek makes great bikes. I just find them a bit overpriced. Felts ride and look nice, but also are a bit expensive. Fujis are great bikes and a good value.

Depends. I think the Trek has a better geometry in 52cm than Felt. I don't know about Fuji. So I'd be inclined to go Trek.
