I started out in 2008 with my Felt F75.
After years of cycling absence I wanted a decent enough bike to start out on again.
It was a great bike.
Then I had a change of heart for something a littlle tastier.
So the BMC fitted the bill nicely.
It had DA7800 gears/brakes with a Fulcrum RS Torq chainset, Racing 1 wheels and Easton finishing kit.
It weighed in at 16.5lb with the pedals (Look Keo carbon Ti)
The financial reasons forced me to sell the bike.........but it was for another passion of mine....a Toyota MR2 Turbo. I lost my way a bit and gained weight...so decided to get back into cycling again seriously in 2009.
Weighing in a 13st 1lb I went on a diet and trained hard.
I rewarded myself with a 2008 Felt F4 (old stock model at a reduced price) and decided to upgrade. The upgrade was pretty much the whole bike save the frame itself.
Another Fulcrum RS chainset, SRAM Red shifters and mechs, DA7900 cassette, American Classic 350 sprint wheels, Ritchey WCS Carbon Fork, Easton carbon parts and some KCNC brakes and stem.
Total weight was 14.75lb with pedals which is really light.
It's now been stripped down again so the frame/fork is actually for sale now.
Making way for my Tarmac SL3.
I'll be posting up the SL3 pics soon on a new thread.
Most pleaseing is my own weight which is now 10st 4lb and I'm pushing out much more power.
