I have a case of the n+1 desease, BAD...

Here is the latest to the collection.  It is a 2010 (yes, 2010!!!) Felt F75.  I am one of the first to have one.  They think the first to have one in Las Vegas.

It came home today weighing 20.5 lbs and 63cm.  Not too shabby for a bike that big and 105 build.  The mechanic and I were talking that over the next year, a crank and brake upgrade as well as some better wheels and I can get it around 18 lbs!

It is so new, I still have the plastic spoke protector and reflectors on it as well as the free water bottle cages they gave me.

Felt F75

So that's a road bike added to the 26" MTB, the 29" MTB, and tri bike...

What's next?  Single speed or Hard Tail MTB perhaps... then I probably need to pack my bags for the divorce!

I love it.  Love the white in particular, although white bar tape scares me.  I hope you're good at redoing that.

From here I'd recommend getting fun accessories that wouldn't be obvious as "new additions".  Electronics mostly, the new wheels, etc.  The wife wouldn't notice that, right?

Word.  My new Trek came with white tape and they looked dirty when I walked out of the LBS with her.  Luckily they sell green to match her accents and I will definitely be replacing with that.  I mean, yeah bar tape is gonna look dirty unless you get black, but white? 

C'mon, manufacturers.  Show some common sense.

My said the same thing.  That the white is going to get dirty FAST.  But it seems to be a really big trend with manufacturers these days.

I'm wondering if it has to do with the grand tours.  It seems (to me) that the pros seem to use white a lot.  However, they have the luxury of probably getting new tape before every stage if they want!
