My husband was a big trek fan for years and that was pretty much all he looked at. Last year, kind of on a whim he bought a Felt z85 and fell in love with riding again. His other bike was a OLCV 5200 that he lovingly rebuilt over the years but wasn't a good fit for him because of his lower back issues. The Alu z85 was a better ride for him then the carbon trek.

He missed the feel of carbon though, so this year he started looking at the Madones that have the more upright H3 geometry. He liked them and was getting ready to buy one but then we went to the felt dealer and he road the Z5 and there was no contest. The Z5 rode just as nice as the Madone and was considerably cheaper.

I rode a wz6 and didn't care for the micro shifters but liked the frame a lot. I am not looking to buy right now but when I am I will seriously consider the wz5.
