cyclenut Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Any idea on the price and (more importantly) the weight of the Aero frame?
Spinnekop Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Still one of the prettiest TT frames around. Very nice.
Iwan Kemp Posted October 2, 2008 Author Posted October 2, 2008 It'll be light. Team Issue bike with Zipp 404's weigh 6.79kg.s. Felt make some of the lighest bikes out there straight off the shelves. 08 F1 weigh 6.36kg's for a Large and retailed for R43,999. Not as cheap as a Raleigh but it'll last and is a lot lighter and more exclusive. According to Felt bikes will be available from end of Oct, prices yet to be confirmed.
Iwan Kemp Posted October 2, 2008 Author Posted October 2, 2008 AR frames will have internal cable routing
Iwan Kemp Posted October 2, 2008 Author Posted October 2, 2008 For specs and details go to www.feltracing.com These are UNOFFICIAL so I'll post them in brackets...(AR team R53k, AR2 R50k, AR4 R28k, F1 R51k)"According to Felt, wind tunnel testing has already shown that the AR is not only faster than all other road bikes in its class, in many cases it is faster than a number of available time trial bikes. In general terms, the new AR offers approximately a two-percent saving over a standard road bike when in identical conditions. Depending on actual speed and wind conditions, this equates to a saving of 58 to 75 seconds over the course of a one-hour ride."
wisecrack Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 The AR2 really is a sexy bike wonder what the frame will retail for.
Iwan Kemp Posted October 2, 2008 Author Posted October 2, 2008 The "normal" road bike...http://www.feltracing.com/09/images/catalog/large/8882.png
Iwan Kemp Posted October 2, 2008 Author Posted October 2, 2008 Weighs in at 6.35kg's! Frame under 900g, fork 300g. They make awesome bikes. Light, affordable, stiff with great back-up and service.
wisecrack Posted October 2, 2008 Posted October 2, 2008 Beautiful...I like the white and black and the way they colour coordinate things like the stem to fit in with the rest of the colour scheme. Seems like Felt really out done themselves this year.
