Weight Weenie Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 So here she is - 2011 Felt F85 Should be good for a bit of training on the road to spare the mtb and log those long rides with, maybe even a Tri or road race in the future... No I don't know what it weighs and really don't care as long as its near the weight of my mtb.Will add some white huds and bottle cages for a bit of pimping, but other than that will keep it stock. Oh and I'll get some road pedals when I have the cash and remove the plastic cassette thingy, before you okes complain WW.
AndreZA Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Nice. I like the green (but white tires need to go). Very original. Don't let the speed scare you. Embrace it and push a little harder.
DaLoCo Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Enjoy it....I love the vast differences between road and MTB, I do prefer road though...more speed and the bike is very responsive.... Like the green...
Weight Weenie Posted January 13, 2011 Author Posted January 13, 2011 Thanks all, ja the white tyres are grey on the tread from the first ride anyway, but I'll replace them when they wear out, buying a new mtb frame so wont waste money here.
splat Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Nice. Congrats! I might have some white Hudz...What shifters are those?
Weight Weenie Posted January 13, 2011 Author Posted January 13, 2011 Microshift - full 105 is above my budget so I can change those later, atleast I already have a 105 RD, FD and cassette in 10 speed.
stewie911 Posted January 13, 2011 Posted January 13, 2011 Good choice. NExt up, uber heavy All Mountain bike to hit Mankele. PS: Nous jy 'n roadie. Haal af die liggies en sit 'n skinny saal op.
jugheaddave Posted January 14, 2011 Posted January 14, 2011 Not a big fan of felt (not that there is anything wrong with them), but that bike looks really sexy in a old school kind of way!
gummibear Posted January 16, 2011 Posted January 16, 2011 Hope you have many many happy miles together.
Weight Weenie Posted January 16, 2011 Author Posted January 16, 2011 Thanks Gummi, hoping she will boost my stamina so when I jump on the mtb I can whoop some asses ! @Dave I like that its a bit more subdued than other bikes ie. merida and also "felt" that it was good value for money @splat will let you now if the shop can't get hudz @Stewie - Jou moer man eks nie `n roadie nie, jy moet mar vir jou n anner 3 Towers partner gan soek ! Die liggies hou my onder die karriekies se wiele uit as dit nog nie mooi lig is in die oggend nie so hulle kan mar bly asook die sagte saal vir laaang rides.
'Dale Posted January 18, 2011 Posted January 18, 2011 Congrats, man.Have millions of happy miles. I laaik the white tires, saddle and other bits of white trim. Felt. Nevva heard a bad thing about the brand.
