Okay, that's not exactly what happened. I finally got the Felt F2 out on the road this week and I didn't like the way it felt. The geometry is similar to my Trek, but it must be different enough to change the characteristics into something that I didn't like. It's a good bike, but I didn't like it as much as I had liked the Tarmac I test rode last summer.
After much internal debate I decided that I would get the bike I wanted in the first place: a Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL. I bought the frame from my favorite local bike shop and moved all my components from the Felt to the Tarmac. They did it for me quick too, which is nice because I have an appointment for a bike fit on Monday.
All in all, it works out to be a good deal. The shop gave me a great price on the new frame, and I'll be selling my Felt frame. I'll get a chance to see just how much I like the new Tarmac tomorrow because I'm supposed to go on a ridiculous 100 mile ride.
I know Owen is disappointed because I didn't take some good bike porn type pictures, but it's the best I could do tonight. I'll take some glamor shots later when I get my good Ksyrium SL wheels back on. Speaking of the Ksyriums, the rear hub looks totally sweet:
Get that bike out of the kitchen! It will be eating all the chips and cheese and before you know it, it will be as heavy as an aluminum bike! Heavens to Betsy!!!
