Bike GalleryRe: Bike GalleryAre those wheels 650s? Or 24"? Photo looked very weird at first glance!
Re: Bike Galleryyep wheels are 650c
The gap is intentional, as it was made as the Pave bike.... so bigger clearance, and yes it has plush flex in the rougher stuff, but goes like stink on the smooth!! If I tried I think I could get the weight down to about 6.1kg without too much effort, but right now she is very happy.... I do love it without the stickers... its hot!!! photo was taken (AT) f1.8 so there is very little DOF! so that makes it look purty...
Re: Bike GalleryTrek Madone 4.7
Very happy with the new bits. Garmin Edge 500 Pro Race 3 Tyres (although I had 2 flats first ride out) Ultegra pedals Fizik seat ![]() ![]()
Re: Bike GalleryVery nice... I like the paint scheme. What is the sensor on the forks as it's not the normal Garmin speed / cadence sensor which mounts on the chain stay ?
Re: Bike Gallery

Re: Bike GalleryCrog, that's a really nice colour; didnt realise felt made such great looking mountain bikes. Seems to have a decent kit as well, but it's about time to ride it hard and dirty, and 'deflower' it. Sure you'll get hot and sweaty, but that's kinda the point
What are these salesmen peddling?
Re: Bike GalleryYeah mate that Felt is very nice, I only hear good things about them and seriously considered one when I was in the market for a hardtail. I ended up finding a deal on something else to good to pass up but I really rate them.
Your going to freakin love it Can ya tell me a bit more about those barends? I use them as well, same brand but I have not seen that shape before? interesting....
Re: Bike GalleryYeah haapy with the Felt and baby blue colour A little different from the norm and got it at goldcross for $1550 with pedals and bar ends chaper as it is an 09 model
Not being to up to speed on the MTB spec side of things (I know more about roadys) it appears to have good gear on it although carbon stays worry me a little bit bar ends from goldcross and specs from website below pics Only concerns are the hydraulic breaks and forks with respect servicing etc. Will need to download manuals ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() from spec sheet not sure if anything needs upgrading FRAME Felt Superlight XC Series 7005 Double-Butted Aluminum, with Carbon Fiber Seat Stays w/Increased Tire Clearance, Monostay Design, 45mm Integrated Head Tube, Replaceable Derailleur Hanger, Disc-Brake Specific FORK Recon SL Solo Air with TurnKey lockout, Forged 6061 T-6 aluminum, Alloy Steerer, Disc brake specific Magnesium lower. 7000 series 32mm straight wall aluminum stanchions. 3.86 lbs.

Re: Bike GalleryCrap! In photobucket the right of both shots arent cut off!
Re: Bike GalleryGo to the bottom right hand side of your browser and reduce the screen size to 95%, maybe 90. Or reduce the size on photobucket.
