Felt Curbside

sounds like a very sick buy. i wonder what production version's going to look like? think the highflange gold hubs and da28s will be standard?
i love the interior brake cable routing... if i was looking for a street-fix urban type roll i'd probably be parting out my track bike right now.

i love the look of felt's road bikes, but this bike makes me hope they never build a fixed gear frame again. This is worse than the country bob. This is one of the ugliest complete bikes i've ever witnessed.
I just noticed the 15mm socket/bottle opener. lifestyle branding much? god i don't think i have ever hated a bike as much as i hate this one.

Then again the compact geometry reminds me of the Langster frame, which I'm no fan of aesthetically...

well, i'm one to love ugly things.
i took this picture because i love these ugly cars:

that said, i'd obviously run a rear brake on this bike even if i was running fixed. i mean... that's kinda the point of having a bike like this(compact geometry, flat bars... etc.)
btw that rachet wrench / bottle opener is ****ing AWESOME. i want one.

Hooray, you NEED a socket wrench to get the wheel off! Maybe it's a theft prevention thing, but I think it is just incredibly stupid.

I can imagine that being like trying to tighten a 14mm axle nut with a 15mm wrench (a similarly frustrating task that I had to undertake). Sisyphean.

The frameset makes me nausious, that color of green is offensively stupid.
The random gold accents are lame as hell, the use of platform pedals on a fixed gear is dangerously idiotic.
The decision to offer internal cabling is really foolish considering that it likely will not be run with a rear brake.
The saddle and tube protector clash with the neon lime yellow of the frame
And to seal the deal, flat bars are lame as hell.
