Congratulations, very nice ride.

Your seat is pointing down.
You have an entire village worth of luggage in that bag?
You have reflectors on (shudder)
You're in the small chainring
Your water bottle cage is more aero on the downtube than the seattube.
You need to scrub your tile.

Other than that, great looking ride! Innocent

Congrats on the FELT! You'll love it.

I've been on this sight for a few months...

Is this sort of criticism all in fun? And why do people talk $HIT about reflectors? I'm sure they slow you down by _ seconds in a race, but I'd rather not get hit by a car, thank you. Do you guys dislike the reflectors because the bike looks "cleaner" or "sleeker" without them, or because the reflectors will make or break your next pay-check (which I think is only true for a select number of people)? 

Thank you.

Reflectors can throw your wheel out of true, and the ones on the wheels are pretty worthless since the only ones that will see them are the people to the sides of you.

And yes, the criticism is in fun. And I doubt the reflectors would make or break anyone, they come free with the bike.

So funny, after you're 1000 bike idea posts, I feel like we all went through the agony and indecision that accompanies purchasing a new bike.

Enjoy the Felt, i have an 2006 S22 and I love it.

Nice Felt Trishie!  I hope she treats you well!

I have a felt roadie and am very pleased with it thus far.  Although, the B2 has been beckoning!  The B2 and the P3 might be getting in a cat fight next year over me

That is a nice bike Trishie and I bet you do really well with her!
