It'll take you 2 mins to register for quidco and you get cash back at hundreds of retailers. I've saved a few hundred in the last year or so, and one of my friends has saved a couple of grand!
the larger ones do but the 7.5 litre Maxi just attaches with three Velcro straps and ive started adding an extra plastic tie for some extra stability. the maxi is a very large s
addle bag for 17 quid which is an excellent item having used it for only a week.
tes im nearly sure id prefer a 58cm large frame, im 6 ft just. what do you think.
just change the wheels and tyres first once i receive the Felt? or soon after?

I'm 5' 10" and have the 56cm F95 which is just about perfect for me, so I'd say yes.
The wheels are undoubtedly relatively cheap and cheerful, but I've done quite a few hundred miles on them now, and just make sure I keep tweaking the spokes after more arduous potholed rides. They're still pretty true and the bearings aren't giving cause for concern.
(They look better once the decals are removed too, and getting the glue off is good exercise for the thumbs )
I'm probably unusual in that I like the Vittoria Zaffiros - I haven't found them to be dangerously slippery in the wet (I've only badly lost traction over a few metal drain-covers, all controllable) and throw them into corners in the dry without a thought.
I'm always expecting punctures, as they have effectively no protection, but so far, no problems.
And they are dirt-cheap...
I am planning for replacement wheels and planning on folding Rubino Pros for the really mucky weather, but right now, neither is a requirement.
They're quite dissimilar, which suggests you're not really yet sure what you're after...
There's quite a difference in price too, and it definitely helps slimi-down the options if you pick a price point before buying.
The F95 is certainly not going to be a lot of fun going through the woods (unless the woods have a nice paved/tarmac path), but I'm not sure that Fuji's an ideal bike for the rough stuff either - you'd be better looking at cyclocross bikes.
You could always get another set of wheels and/or slick tyres for a 'crosser' on the road, but you're never going to fit anything over a 25mm tyre on an F95.
