My Felt F4 2014

So, after borrowing my Dad's Specialized Allez Elite 2011 for about 6 months, I got my own road bike as a graduation present. Was shopping in the £1500-£2000 bracket when I saw 25% off this beauty and snapped it up straight the way.



The build as I have it at the moment is:
Frame/Fork: Felt F series (61cm)
Bars: Felt SuperLite Road VariableShape handlebar
Stem: Felt SuperLite stem
Bar Tape: Felt Gel

Front Brake Lever: Shimano Ultegra 6800
Front Caliper: Shimano Ultegra 6800
Rear Brake Lever: Shimano Ultegra 6800
Rear Caliper: Shimano Ultegra 6800

Shifters: Shimano Ultegra 6800
Front Mech: Shimano Ultegra 6800
Rear Mech: Shimano Ultegra 6800

Seat: Prologo Nago Evo T2.0
Seat Post: Felt Race Road UHC Performance carbon fiber seatpost

Chainset: Shimano Ulterga 52/36
Cassette: Shimano Ultegra 6800 11-25
Pedals: Shimano SPD
Bottom Bracket: BB30

Wheels: Shimano RS21
Tyres: Schwalbe Ultremo ZX 23c (came with Vittoria Rubino Pro 23c)

Accessories: Zefal bottle cages

Weight: 7.8kg

In the future, I want to swap out the cassette for an 11-28 so I have a 36/28 bailout gear and obviously want to upgrade the wheels and change over to either SPD SL or Look pedals. Oh, and get rid of the god awful white bar tape. As for the bike itself, I absolutely love it. It's better than the Specialized Allez in everyway (as you'd expect). In particular, the difference in stiffness is remarkable. Getting used to the more long and low aggressive position and gradually taking the spacers out.

For my graduation, I got a pint and a curry. One of these would've been much cooler.

Owned a F4 previously and got it to a very light weight.
