hi guys

i currrently have a giant rapid r1 and am looking to upgrade and have come across this at £1400.

detailed spec is here:

http://www.thebikelist.co.uk/felt/f4-2010

basically I am a runner who cant swim and could be a lot better cyclist but have been bitten by the triathlon bug and want to get some decent winter training in whilst 2010 bike prices are low.

other things I am considering are planet x and cannondale 105.

very many thanks in anticipation

    that looks like a v good deal I reckon - i like that colour scheme 8) ... Bear in mind it has a ' standard ' 53/39 chainset on it - might be a bit much if you live in a v hilly area, but then stick a 12-27 cassette on it.. Once you get used to it you can upgrade the wheels .. I have got a Felt F1 with DA wheels and I'm v happy with it :)

    thanks very much i have a had a read.

    is she any happier since then is it really much better say than the s22 which is an aluminium frame?

    thanks
