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

Felt- Good Engineering behind their products. They don't just pick out of a Taiwan catalog.
Like their "Z" series for the relaxed geometry comfort thing over the F series, which is racing.

Yeah right.

If you give her that, you are guaranteed to get lucky. Nice looking ride.

I have a felt track tk3 that I bought on employee purchase. The styling is sick, but I the component spec was horrible. I have replaced everything except the seat and seatpost. The stock wheels were heavier than my mountain bike wheels with discs and cassette. The cranks were incredibly heavy and the bottom bracket was a mutant from the bowels of Asia.

Now the bike is flashier than prince.

Loved my Z85 till it was stolen. Only thing I hated was the white tires, white tape, white seat and white stem. Once I got that all fixed it was one drop-dead sexy bike. What particularly caught my attention when i bought it was the smooth welding. Thing looked like a CF frame.

I love my how my z70 (2008) rides. It's not as aggressive looking as I'd like sometimes, but it certainly is comfy putting down the miles. Major changes have been wheels, crankset and bars.

Here is a bad picture.
