New Bike! Weeeeee!

[lostmyshape]

just took pics of my new Felt F45... brought her home last week. wow, what a great ride. i don't know if it's the better fit, carbon seatstay and fork, or what, but it's waaay more comfy than either old steel bikes i was riding. my speed has increased by almost 2 mi/hr! i feel like i might be able to keep up now... can't wait for that perfect, warm day.

c'mon sun... warmer... i said, warmer...

Sweet looking ride! Ultegra, 18.2lbs nice bike! What were you riding?

mainly, i was riding a too-small, mid 80's, down-tube shifting, suntour equipped Fuji League... given to me by a co-worker (he raced on it in high school). not ideal, but free, and it got me hooked. my co-worker moved away 2 weeks after he gave it to me, so i didn't even get a real chance to properly thank him... well, thanks larry...

now: ultegra/dura ace mix, with FSA carbon cranks and velomax circuit wheels. what a difference! i want to ride it now... stupid job.

I envy you.. I was looking a few weeks ago for my new bike and rode the F70. Nice bike but It just didn't move me..If I had the $$'s to get the F45 with the fsa CARBON vice gossamer and ultegra vice 105 it would have been great. I think that Felt is a great product when you get up into the range of the F45, ended up going LeMond.. Enjoy and hope the Sun finds you soon!!!

Yup...i hear ya. Jobs do get in the way of a gorgeous day and a ride on a new bike, don't they.

I just got a new Trek 2200/all ultegra and I want to be on it NOW!
