I have a 2006 Felt F3C that I purchased at the end of last year. I test rode bikes from Orbea, Scott, Specialized, and probably some others I can't remember right now. I love my Felt. It's got a lot of Dura-Ace and it has a compact crank, which is perfect for all the hills in my area. I did replace the seat. Also, the reviews on the F3C said that the no-name brakes were not great and I have to agree. I just swapped out the original brakes with a set of Dura-Ace that I got for a great price at Lickbike. The difference is amazing. I feel more comfortable on the downhills knowing that I can stop!

I see lots of Felts at triathlons. (My DH is the triathlete in the family, so I have lots of time to check out what the other competitors are riding.) Lots of Cervelos, too. (That's what DH rides.)
