My new ride !!!

Hey everyone,

Just ordered my new bike today, and I'm like a little kid ! I should have it sometime next week, direct from the Felt dealer. It's the '09 Felt Z45 (61cm).
I will most likely do some upgrades on it in the near future like wheels.
Planning on either selling my old Jamis, or keeping it as a beater ride.

Let me know what all of you think.

Thanks,
-Greg

Very nice. Ride it like you would a trailer park skirt: hard, fast, and with no thoughts to the possible consequences.

Looks good!

Now I will finally feel, and know that the only thing that might have some kind of a breakage or a problem on the road is ME , finally can focus and put all of my pleasure and energy out on the road. I can not wait!

I'd be curious to know how you like it. I guess the Z series is supposed to be more comfy; right?
what bike are you moving from?

I am moving up from my 1st bike, a 2000 Jamis Nova 62cm (cyclocross). I got it for $20 about 3 years ago on a yard sale, and tuned it up w/ some road tires. Rescently the back spokes/nipples started snapping off (beyond repair), so it was either throw more $$$ into it, or just get a new bike. I am like a little kid on Christmas right now! Also the shop I went to (and will never go anywhere else) is unbelievable. Real pros and triatheletes that will do everything I need. They ordered directly from Felt. (www.fitwerx.com)

I will post a review on it as soon as I get it and ride it (hopefuly by Monday).

I already know that the wheels are not the greatest, so that might be my 1st upgrade.

Nice bike. I'm glad that you went to a shop instead of online. Not only are you getting a bike but you are also getting a wealth of knowledge and support. When you shop on line, all you get is a bike.

Jamis is a good bike. Keep her and fix her up when you have some extra $$. I tracked down my first real road bike ten years ago, after it had been sold in 1986. I was lucky to find her and she is one of my most prized possessions, restored to like showroom condition. I rarely ride her because I am paranoid of marring the finish, but I have a blast when I do take her out.

Wow that's luck. Yea I was even thinking that maybe I can put some new cyclocross tires back on. I'm just mad that the season is ending and its getting colder by the day . But that just means I'll be ready for early next year right?

just ordered mine last night 'cube aerial ' 09 got on line from store i deal with all the time chainreactions ...did loads of reserch on it seemed to be the best i was willing to pay on new bike got 20% off oridgional price ,hope i ve made a good choice here it looks great black with white lettering simular to your picture this is my 1st roadie coming from hybrid ......

Hey good luck ! I know I can hardly wait for mine (could be as soon as tomorrow). On the picture, it looks like black and yellow color but it's actually carbon fiber clear finish (and yellow).

I can virtually guarantee most cyclocross knobbies won't fit the frame or the brakes.

I was referring to switching back to cyclocross tires on my old bike (Jamis Nova, which is a cyclocross bike) Once I get my new Felt, I will use my old bike as a beater for riding in bad conditions, so might as well throw some cross tires back on.
