The northeast weather is sucking. I've only had about 3 hours on rollers since it came home.

Ride report will come hopefully later this week.

Weighs about 15.8 fully loaded (cages, pedals, computer etc...).

Sorry for the crappy pics. My digital camera sucks.

Definitely a sucky camera..the bar tape came out pink!
Seriously though, I'd look for a pink saddle or ditch the bar tape.
That frame looks pretty mean by the way.

very nice!

like the pink!

Hope the weather turns fro you soon if not toss the fenders on and ride.:thumbsup:
Why felt?

BTW - photos just fine.

It's really difficult to find a saddle anatomically correct for a male in pink. :(

which one would look better?

I kind of like the Pink!

well, ill know who you are at collegiate races....

what cat are you going to be destroying the field on with that bad boy?

sick bike, i really like it

Awesome ride! The F2C seems llike one the best value bikes out there. I have to ask though....what is it with that pink bar tape??

About the saddle........what about a Selle Italia SLR XP?

B's. :-P Leaning towards B's. But I don't want to be the only one on my team riding there. So possibly C's. haha.

haha. pink is my trademark. people on my ski team call me pink because I raced in pink goggles (yes, I did use them before ligety won gold).

I decided I needed it in all my sports. hence pink bar tape.

im in a similar boat.

well not really. im focusing on the summer really, but should be in some speed/form by april. as a result, i sort of want to race c's for march as i know it wont be in great shape since ill still be lifting and really using the races as training more than trying to do anything. plus ill have teammates in c's, but not b's. i think i may jump up to b's later though

again, sweet bike, i just built mine and i thought i had a too nice for c's bike, but i guess not

I'm kinda worried about messing it up honestly. I'm tempted to buy a beater bike for ECCC stuff/rain/whatever. I have a few things on ebay. If all goes well, i'll have it by mid march.

Nice ride- I just picked up a Felt F5C carbon at the end of January and have faced similiar weather problems. Of course now I am facing a geography problem of being located in Kyrgystan until April. At least the weather will be good. For now it is a fitness bike at the gym. Really liked the Felt and what you got for your money. Rides really well. :thumbsup:

Definitely the black, the saddle on the left is covered in snowman vomit!

where do you go to school? I'm racing C's for Drexel this year....

the new Soloist Team will not dare see collegiate action for awhile, i'll be on the old beater Allez for racing.

Looks like a Felt.

No, actually, I liked Felt's offerings quite a bit, and was sorta sad I wasn't able to get one in 2006 when they were my collegiate team's "sponsor." There were some issues with the Stupid Shop (http://argentius.blogspot.com/2006/03/veloce-bicycles.html) that we got hooked up with as our conduit for them, and no one on the team ended up with them. "well great, you have a deal hooked up through Felt, but since it is going through our shop, why don't you buy one of the other bikes we have on offer?" :mad2: :mad2:

Oh, well, it worked out for the best, my noncollegiate team bike is pretty nice and the University got hooked up with a redline deal this year; their aluminum frames are much more collegiate-budget friendly.

In any case, nice bike...

where do you go to school?

Its a secret.

I bet it will be pretty obvious once the season rolls around though. :9:
