"Overall an excellent bike for the price. I would highly recommend it to anyone."ericcooper

(4)

Quality of Construction

The quality of bike frame itself is excellent. The only issues I've had so far are with one of the shifter cables (a bunch of strands pulled free from the shifter housing and needs to be replaced) and the aerobar pad tray snapped right off during a ride.

(4)

Fit

Very good fit no issues

(4)

Comfort

Still trying to get used to the saddle. After haven ridden for about 550 miles I decided to get a new saddle and give that a try.

(4)

Adjustability

Haven't had to adjust anything, but seems to be easy to adjust.

(4)

Durability

With the exception of the shifter cable and the aerobar its very good.

(5)

Value

After pricing out tri bikes for a while, getting a Felt for under 1k is a great deal.

(4)

Appearance

Very nice looking bike.

(4)

Performance

Very good performance. The only thing I've been disappointed with is in the forward gear shifter. I expected it to be a bit more exact. Going from the big to the small gear is simple, but returning to the big gear is harder. It sometimes slips during shifting. Also, when on the small gear and shifting through the rear gears it will overshoot the last one and the chain will come off.

Strengths

Price is the biggest. Next to that I'm counting on the Felt name for durability of the bike so that it'll last for several years.

Weakness

Gear shifting has been a bit of a diappointment. I expected it to be a bit more exact. Going from the big to the small gear is simple, but returning to the big gear is harder. It sometimes slips during shifting. Also, when on the small gear and shifting through the rear gears it will overshoot the last one and the chain will come off.
