Felt Tk2 questions
Hello, I recieved an offer to buy a Felt tk2 complete for 570 usd. I was wondering if you guys think I should get it. I will be riding velodrome occasionally and some street. The following components are below. Thanks for the help! I would also get a different wheelset for street use.

I have one, and I absolutely love it!!! No track riding for me, all street between commuting and delivering and just riding. What year is it? Can you post a picture of it?
Here is mine - stock wheels from another year TK2 in the picture but not on the bike currently. Front wheel does have somewhat of a brake track although not a full one. http://i.imgur.com/zbAkZwA.jpg |
It is the 2013 model (black and white) Also i was wondering if i could put continental super sports on these.. thanks! :)

If you're really getting a stock TK2 with all those parts, $570 is a steal. There's no reason to get a different wheelset for street use*
TK2s are nice bikes, I rode an '08 for a few years and really liked it. The geometry is definitely meant for the track (long and low), so it's not going to be as upright as one might like for the street. On the upside, the oversized tubing and bladed monostay looks bada$$ and makes for an incredibly stiff frame. Couldn't find a picture of mine before I stripped the paint off, but here's what it looked like: http://www.pedalroom.com/p/felt-tk2-raw-9977_4.jpg *I'm a big fan of using a locking skewer on the front wheel, so you don't need a second lock or cable. Unfortunately they only work with road quick-release type hubs. Secure your saddle with a chain or wire cable and you're ready to go. |
