Felt! Best sped'd bikes in the biz.

Felt has at least three 10-speed (105 level) equipped bikes retailing for $1100. No other manufacturer I know of can touch that. For that price, most are offering 9-speed (Tiagra) and I think Trek even throws some Sora on their bikes in that range, which amazes me.

There's the Felt F85; no carbon seat stays like the F75, but still under 20# and comes in at an amazing $1100 for a 105 10-speed bike. The FW35 is a woman's version. The Z70 is similarly priced, but with a triple instead of a compact crank up front.

I fellow rider has Trek and he absolutely love it. I'm looking into getting an FW15. Great value! Felt is local in Sacramento and is very popular.... good reputation so far.
