Felt Z5 2013 specs

rampax

Hi
I am considering a new bike, and am down to:
Specialized Roubaix Sport & Felt Z5
Both offer relaxed riding positions and wide gearing, which look ideal.
I have ordered a test ride of the Roubaix from Evans, but getting a test ride on the Felt is another matter.
Looks like I will have to use Wiggles "30 day test ride".
Before I order this, I want to make sure of the 2013 uk spec for this bike, as the pictures dont seem to match the specs.

On Felts UK site (and Wiggle)
http://www.feltbicycles.com/United-King ... es/Z5.aspx
I can see from the photo that these components do not match the spec. I suspect the shots are from the US spec, which uses Tiagra rather than 105.

On the BikeRadar review:

The shots look accurate to the spec.

So, can anyone confirm (ideally who owns one) what the spec is?
Also, is the rear derailleur a medium cage one or short cage?

Cheers.

The Felt UK\Wiggle spec of 105 is correct as I understand it.

Have you had a look at the De Rosa R848 they have for sale at the moment?

Comes kitted with 105 for £1365 and is a very pretty looking bike.

Yeah, it looks like they just have the wrong photos up.
Indeed the DeRosa looks like a lot of bike for the money, and very nicely styled.
The review says its quite a rigid ride, and the gearing is not quite as wide as the Felt.
Also the frame only goes up to a 54cm which I suspect will be a little small for me at 6ft1.
