Im buying a fairly expensive road bike and ive narrowed to down to two options really and Im after peoples opinons on which to choose.
Its between '05 models of Felt F55 and the Trek 5000.
I personaly feel the Felt kills the Trek on looks and i also like to ride somthing different. The felt also has slightly better components with Duraace and rims with velos.. but the Trek's frame is full carbon.
I believe theres not much difference between the weight. The felt website puts the F55 at 17.5lbs and the Trek is thought to be around 16.7lbs.
but what do you guys think?
