A Place to idle the day away talking about anything you fancy. Expect to find cycling and non cycling topics inside

Paul T, is your new Felt the F1? Frankie A's giving it a test ride in this month's Procycling. I'll leave you in suspenders over the verdict.

nice bike (hey how's that for an understatement?) This photo has my left leg, left thigh, left elbow and left ear in it. That's a darn sight more than made it into the peloton photo I can tell yer :(

That does look the 'mutts nuts'. The colour link with the frame and the wheels is top banana!!!! 8) 8) 8)

On next weeks club run we are introducing a new group....we'll have the slow group and various fast groups and the new 'show group' to cater for all the bling out there :)

It is and the ride is truly amazing - soaks up the bumps like a sponge, but accelerates damn quick when I push on the pedals - and the weight or lack of it is awesome.

Its nice but nowhere near as nice as Paul's Felt with Bora's

It doesn't matter what way you swing with your group-set, they both do the same job just different styles.

Talking sense George.

I just couldn't resist the opportunity for a juvenile swipe :)

Dave,
I have seen the review. Pretty much as I have found it, although perhaps it is because I have a smaller version, I haven't noticed the short front trail.
It is just so light and smooth (and looks sooooooo good too with the Bora's - til George wants them back :roll: )

BTW, took the dodgy tape off and the handlebars fell apart :wink:

Just dug the old "fixed" out of the shed circa 1974 - top quality gas tubing - can't beat it :roll:
