cathleen,

I have a Felt F80 (2004), 52cm and I love it. I'm also 5'6" with longish legs (and arms). I tried the 54cm and thought it was too big. I paid $750 last spring. The only modifications I made to the bike were removing the bar-top brake controls and putting on a less painful saddle. It is very responsive and fits me very well and the triple chainring has come in handy.

My husband, who is used to riding high end campy equipped bikes thought Felt was really worthy. He got himself an F45 and loves it.

Felt is known for their Tri bikes.
