New bike!
To disable ads, please log-in.
Hello All!
I haven't been around for a while, but I've been really busy with school starting and riding (of course)! I am so excited to tell you that I bought my first road bike!! I am now the proud owner of a Felt F75! I fell in love with it the first time I rode it and after taking it out for a 50 mile ride a couple of weekends ago, I knew it was mine. I brought it home today and I'm still in love!
Just thought I'd fill everyone in and of course, post some photos of the new baby!
(Hope the pics aren't too big!)

Let's see...It's a 2007 model and it's really fast. It torques you forward when you start pedaling. I test rode many different bikes, but this one was the one I fell in love with. I took it out for a long ride (with the bike shop's permission, of course) before purchasing it and that sealed the deal for me! I am still waiting on a shorter stem and narrower handle bars, but that should be here soon!
I loved the colors too. This bike is considered an entry level racing bike. It puts the rider in a more aggressive position than some of the other Felt bikes (like the Z series). It's awesome, I just love my Felt!

Congrats, Emily. I really, really like that bike. I so wish I could fit on a bike with a horizontal top tube. I just prefer the way they look. Alas, my legs are too short and my arms are too long!

Great looking bike. In the next 1-2 years when I start seriously shopping for my new bike, Felt is definitely on the list. Thanks for the reminder!!!!

SWEET!!! No, the pictures aren't too big. A friend of my husband's got a Felt a few months ago. It's the first time I had heard of that brand and saw one. It was sweet looking, as is yours.
Congrats and happy riding!

Emily, your Felt looks like a class act. Black and yellow are my favorite combined colors.

Great-looking new bike! I've been seeing that black-and-yellow color combo a lot lately--not just on bicycles either--and it's really got my attention. Like bumblebees.
Enjoy!

I rode a very short 10 miles tonight and it is such an awesome bike! Changing the stem and handlebars will only make it more comfortable.
I saw a lot of bikes and rode a lot of bikes, but I knew this one was it the first time I rode it. It's sweet! I love the black and yellow too!
