"this is my first bike purchase (after the age of 13) and i am extremely happy with it. i bought it with the intention of doing my first sprint tri, now i've done two, and am moving up to olympic. i have added speedplay pedals, sidi shoes, a forte tri seat, and just bought a profile design alumin-x base/aero bar cockpit i am extremely excited about. i feel like it really fits me, the yellow was a little crazy at first but now i love it...feels fast, and it makes me want to be faster. everytime i look at my bike (displayed proudly in my living room despite having a 2 car garage) she screams, "RIDE ME!""TRI-ing soldier

Quality of Construction

No issues so far.

Fit

Received a 30 min complimentary fit from the LBS in Austin, TX. Jack and Adam's. Unbelievable customer service. I road 3 different bikes before buying this one, and they even offered to let me take it for a week before committing to purchase! Size is a 56cm, I am 5'10.5" and ~170 lbs.

Comfort

after replacing the seat, i really have no complaints at all. i was told this frame is more race specific versus the Z series of felt bikes, and i love it...a lot more aggressive!
