"I have no karma - I had to get rid of my karma, because it runned over my dogma..."

Still patiently waiting. They said that Felt shipped it out and it should be any day now, (if not today, then they are closed until tues.) so I'm just riding my Jamis and trying not to think about it . I just got a roof rack yesterday so that was good. $250 at BMW dealer, I thought they were supposed to be the expensive ones

-Greg

any news on the felt must have it by now hows it going?

FINALLY !!!

The 1st ride today, A++. A ton of comfort, and quickness, very stable and just a great fit. The 1st thing I would upgrade (for now) are the wheels. Also running stock 25's on them right now, which are comfortable tires, but obviously not as fast.
Let me know what all of you think.

Thanks,
-Greg

gman, I know you don't want to here this, but looking at the seatpost showing, the stem angle, and the spacer stack, it sure looks like you could/should have gone one size larger. That's a lot of seatpost sticking out. Hopefully it's that way because of big barrel distortion in your camera lens.

Keep the 25's. The performance difference between 23's and 25's isn't that big. 25's have the added benefit of being more comfortable, which is a big benefit on crappy roads or long days in the saddle. 25's are also slightly more puncture resistant.

Also I know that the components aren't rgeat (Shimano 105) but for now I don't need any better. I'm just so pumped up

105 is a perfectly fine group. It's durable and works great. Ride it into the ground, and then change groups if you like.

I know what you mean Alienator, that's a 61cm and I can still go up a little higher, but I just did 28 miles today and it felt (no pun intended) really comfy.

It's also a new version they came out with that is kind of like compact but with some differences, probably that's why the post looks so high

Holy crap, Gargantua. You must dwarf Pantagruel.

Greg, that looks awesome!!

Thanks Paramount, I almost want to call in sick tomorrow and go riding all day

Ya I'm 6'4", could say almost 6'5" (few mm's short ) so I imagine every seat post will be maxed on me.
