Reviews help for Felt/Cervelo

[AnnieBikes]

I have a Felt FW3 which I bought in January. I just love it. It has Shimano 105 as I could not justify $1200 more to get Ultegra. The bike comes in a smaller size than I got...I am 5'4". I bought a medium. Try to ride one if the LBS has one. Mine has a compact crank and it is just perfect for me...long distance rides, state rides, and charity rides, as well as the regular weekend rides. It is just what I need.

Well, I went to my LBS and did the ProFit - and discovered that the Felt bike that I was looking at will not fit me - it has too short of a top tube - which may compromise having a long stem, and may cause a bit of an issue with steering (I hope I remember correctly of what he said, but basically he said the Felt won't fit me well), as well as the sit angle will be too much.

Instead, he recommended that I get Jamis Elite. I have long femur, and short torso.

Cervelo has it in my size, but 650c wheels and different seat angle. Plus it's out of my budget range anyways.

I'm going to order this one to take advantage of the tent sale they're having then hopefully it was the perfect fit. I was told that my ProFit guy is da bomb, so we'll see. :-)

I'm a fan.. though I have the bike a step below (Jamis Ventura Race).
Did you get to try one out?

Yep, I got Jamis Elite, and I must say I love it! Aside from little saddle issues (had to replace the stock saddle), and soreness from beginner rides, it's great. It was well worth the price and much more comfortable feel than the Novara Camara Pro (REI brand?). I was fitted for everything and even the guy that did the profit was really impressed how it fits me perfectly. He looks at the angle of my arms to the handle bars and the my torso...perfect angle.
