The 2005 Felt F2C is a full carbon, dura ace bike for $2500. This seems very low and makes me wonder about the quality. Has anyone ridden this beast? I've read about some problems with Felt BB's. Anyone have any experiences with Felt in general?
For 2-300 more, I bet it doesn't come with Dura Ace. Maybe I'm wrong.MaxPrime said:For $2500 I think it's a great bike - but for 2-300 more you can get on a Madone 5.2, which I think is actually more bike at that price level.

Yeah,but are they building the frame or farming it out? Could be a rebadged Scattante.RC2 said:I wouldn't put Felt in the supergo category. They've been around a while building very respectable frames. Felt sponsors Barb Linquist, the #1 female triathlete, and team colavita seem to be OK with their frames.
Thank You, Boudreaux. Also, I don't know why some people think Taiwanese manufacturing is lower tier. The quality is on par with ANYONE else's. If you think differently, prove it. The only real problem is, their products have little or no cachet points. Look at a Weyless carbon fiber water bottle cage, for instance and compare it with the ones that are twice to three times the price. And don't just say, "Well, its only a water bottle cage, not a frame." The point is, those cages are indicative of the overall manufacturing quality/technique in general. Look at Giant CF frames. The are very, very nice.boudreaux said:Yeah,but are they building the frame or farming it out? Could be a rebadged Scattante.
Did I say anything that even resembled that? They turn out some ****,and some good stuff too.StillRiding5500 said:Thank You, Boudreaux. Also, I don't know why some people think Taiwanese manufacturing is lower tier. The quality is on par with ANYONE else's. If you think differently, prove it. .

No you didn't say anything that resembled that. Do you think everything is about you? I said "some" people......boudreaux said:Did I say anything that even resembled that? They turn out some ****,and some good stuff too.
Maybe you should bother with coherent sentence structure.StillRiding5500 said:Why do I bother.............
Boodwrex, you are basically contentious and probably mean. Here is an idea. Get away from your computer and go ride one of your bikes if you still remember how. Anyone who pops off over 3300 posts in a year needs to reevaluate their existance. And that 3300+ is just in this bicycle chat forum. BTW, you will get the last word because I just don't care enough to respond to anymore of your posts. So go for it!boudreaux said:Maybe you should bother with coherent sentence structure.
