"very pleased with the bike, she is fast, well built, responsive and looks great. Money well spent, I will be using this bike for some very long rides and hope to get a few years doing at least 1 IM on her. "TriDB
Ease of use
this is my first tri specific framed bike, from the road bike to this is a nice transition, it's got great geometry for me so works well, very comfortable.
Quality of Construction
the bike feels solid and well put together, Considering this is the entry level Tri specific Felt it has internal cable runs and a really well built frame.
Fit
with very few minor adjustments I have the bike set perfectly, it is very comfortable, I have the 58cm and the stand over height is a little lower than my cannondale synapse, but with a raised saddle and dropped bars it is a great fit.
Comfort
I have only done a few smaller rides with some time on the trainer, but so far the stock saddle is actually very comfortable.
Adjustability
every aspect of the fit can be tweaked, no complaints
Durability
too soon to say, but it feels solid and going from other Felt feedback I expect it to last a long time
Value
Can't actually believe for that money here in the UK I could get a bike with this level of kit and build. it's race ready in my view and it has great kit for the price range. 105 gearing, Ultegra bar end shifters, bladed carbon fork shared with the B12 and higher Carbon models in the range.
Appearance
I've fallen in love, perhaps she doesn't look like she's going 100mph standing still, but she has the right curves and shaping to be fast for sure, the paint work is very nice on this 2009 model.
Customer Service
Wiggle are excellent when it comes to customer service, very quick delivery, well put together bike, questions answered in minutes not days if you have any issues. the delivery guy actually waited for me to unpack and inspect the bike and took away all the packaging i didn't want
Performance
for the little rides I have done, she's the best bike I've been on, I have owned no bikes at this price range, but I have ridden full carbon older bikes, and this is by far the most superior bike I have riden.
Strengths
great value, amazing component list for this price range.
Frame is ideal for upgrading components to have a truly awesome race machine when budget allows
Weakness
ummm....came with big clunky pedals I had to change immediately, but these were just thrown in from the distributor as you normally provide your own. but really I am trying hard to find any weakness.

Ease of installation
The Bike came from the distributor almost entirely put together, this was purchased online in the UK from Wiggle, they asked me my sizing information to get the fit as close as they could.
