I want to get a new road bike and i am searching for one around 1500, with at least 105 parts. i looked at bianchi, and the cannondale caad 8, and i also just looked at the felt F75. The felt seemed to the the best bike for the money, with 105 and ultegra rear, carbor fork and rear triangle. Does anyone know much about these bikes or have any experience on them. Any info would help. (other bikes you recomend) Thanks ~Luke

I'm riding a Felt F-90 and I love it! These bikes are definitely a good deal. The frame construction is excellent, as well as the components. Except the brakes could be a little better but they still work fine. I also think the frames (atleast full carbon) have a lifetime warranty. 2800 miles and counting! Get a Felt, you'll be impressed.

I went to buy the F75 and then rode the F4C and despite the price difference I had to have it. Great bikes and I would definitely recommend. Only done 900 klms in 5 weeks but never missed a beat and really great ride.

Felt makes a very good/solid bike. I looked at them before I bought my Giant TCR1-which is an awesome bike. I would stay away from cannonfail I mean cannondale-the company only expects a 1 to 2 year life on the caad8 frames( they put in the fine print). Have you looked at Giant? This year the have a new road frame the TCR A1 and TCR A0 the frame is half carbon half aluminum, and Giant is one of the biggest manufacturers in the world they even make thier own carbon from the raw threads. Have fun riding which ever bike you pick.

Funny...I wandered into this section to look for comments about the F75...and here it is - the first post.
I too am considering either the F75 or the F55 (although I'm open to similar options) for racing. Help me out with specific pros/cons if you could.
