Is a dual not the orginal Soloist? The one where you could turn the seatpost to change the the seatpost angle.

I have a Felt S22 size 54cm that I won as a prize.

 

 

 

I am keen to get a road bike instead though (probably a Felt

F5, if a dealer wants to do a swop) so want to sell this. It is brand

new (pedals have not even been put on yet) Retail price at Felt is R17 500.

 

 

 

Full specs and a picture can be seen here - http://www.felt.co.za/s22.html Except the one I have is black.

 

 

Make me an offer.

 

 

Ciao

Maybe if if I amputate my legs just above the knees it will fit me. Seriously it looks very nice but way to small for me. I need a 59/60 cm bike.

Buy a Felt. Some of the best value for money bikes out there at the moment.

 

Had a look at them this weekend. B12 Full carbon with nice wheels for R22K. By far the best value I have seen.

There are several things to think about:

 

How good a time trialler are you? If you are at the front end of the field, and reckon that your current bike is costing you ten minutes on the leaders, then spend as much as you can to get best technology under your bum. And it is not just the bike - look at wheels, bearings, helmet, components etc.

 

If you just want to fit in with the other tri athletes and not be called a roadie all the time, then it really depends on your budget, and what you like in a bike. Felt, Cervelo, Raleigh, Specialised, Orbea etc all make TT bikes, at varying costs. Get the bike you like (and can afford), not the bike your mates think you should have.

 

My brother in law was selling these:

You guys that ride both a road and TT bike. What size Road and what size TT bikes do you ride?

I ride a 61 Cervelo and it looks like a 56 TT bike should fit me fine
