Felt F65

Any Felt riders out there? If you've ridden one, give me the skinny.

I test-rode one and probably should have bought it, but bought my Giant from a more local store.

I really enjoyed it on the test-ride.

I bought an F50R last year. For the money you can't beat it, if you like the ride. Compare the
weight, the components, and the price to any other comparable bike and you will see the value. Felt
has no advertising overhead. Have you ever seen an ad???

Steel and recently, aluminum. Never had a felt bike...

May you have the wind at your back. And a really low gear for the hills! Chris

Very comfortable ride. No saddle required, because felt, being very flexible, requires very
fat tubes...

The traction of felt isn't all that great, though, so you might replace the tires with regular
rubber tires. Felt chains wear out quickly, and might get replaced with a steel one. Same goes for
gears. And cables.

But, for the first 2 or 3 feet of your ride, it is very comfortable, and weighs about 3 pounds.

Oh yeah, the handlebars get a bit floppy. As do the wheels.
