Subject: Any Felt B2R owners?
I'm looking to buy my first tri bike and my fit measurements look like Felts may be a good fit for me personally- I'm a long torso & short legged guy, so Felt or Cervelo appear to be two good geometry's for me.  I have located a 2010 B2 R in my frame size that I am thinking about purchasing.  If anyone has anything good or bad to say about the bike and its components, I'd love to hear.  I've always had Shimano on my bikes and had great luck with, but by in large hear very good things about SRAM also.  Anyway, I look forward to any information or opinions you may be able to share!  Thank You

I had an original '07 B2 carbon frame/fork that I bought right when they came out and built it up to my spec.  I then had the seat clamp crack which was a warranty issue in early '08.  So they replaced the frame with an '08 B2 Pro.  So I didn't get the Bayonet but still had the newer frame.

Loved it.  Fastest bike I have owned so far.  Soft enough to absorb shock but stiff enough for me to climb well.  Slick and fast.

Love my Felt B2.
(No B2R, No bayonette)

I have Shimano. :-(
Wish I had SRAM

Odd about the measurements, because Felt and Cervelo are the only bikes that will fit my very SHORT reach with a short top tube length. I can only assume you will have the seat in the rear seat position, and that's why it fits you with the opposite body geometry I have.

Enjoy the ride!

Another B2 lover/owner here.  Coming from a 7-speed Trek 1420 with downtube shifters, it was quite an upgrade!
