"Outstanding steed at and unbelievable price for what you get. Performance upgrade for anyone moving from a road to tri bike, at least in my experience."kidtri33
Quality of Construction
I am amazed by the beautiful lines and weight of these carbon bikes. I haven't heard anything bad about these frames and the components it comes with you can not beat for the price.
Fit
As everyone has said here and even my LBS it is a great bike for fitting to all different sizes. I got a 56 and I am 6' with 32" inseam.
Comfort
I think this bike is more comfortable than the Lemond Reno I rode before. The seat will most likely be replaced but the way it handles ruff roads really surprised me.
Adjustability
The LBS fitter just raved about how adjustable these bikes are and how it fits a lot of different folks. Nothing had to be changed out for me all stock options gave for a lot of flexibility
Durability
I have only had for a short time but so far so good and with other reports I beleive I will have this bike for a long time.
Value
Really $1899 for full carbon with ultegra? Great deal if you ask me compared to other bikes I was looking at.
Appearance
Sexy! That is what it is to me. I love the lines and the basic black and white paint scheme.
Customer Service
The LBS is great, I haven't had to deal with FELT and I have a feeling I never will have to.
Performance
I haven't done a race but my normal loops I ride I am doing faster. I still feel like there will be bigger gains to come as I get more comfortable on the bike.
Strengths
Great price for components and full carbon frame and fork. Solid ride and comfortable.
Weakness
The only thing might be the gel pads on aero bars. I seemed to slide on them a bit when they get wet from sweat. These can easily be replaced though.

Ease of use
I was surprised how well I was able to handle the bike with it being my first tri bike and first time being in aero. Everything sets up nicely for braking changing gears, etc.
