Felt F7

Would this full Carbon Felt be any good?

I'm thinking maybe forget new and go for something second hand, but I know with second hand you are trusting the seller 100%.

Yes but it's a more endurance type frame, in your other thread you would prefer something more racy. The only issue is you can't easily test ride and be sure you have the right size. Sora is entry level. You could get an alu frame/carbon forks and 105/SRAM Rival gearing for around that if you are brand / retailer neutral etc

e.g. http://www.wiggle.co.uk/felt-z75-2015/ (although the red is much nicer and everyone knows black bikes are slow )

No, the felt F range is the racier bike, the Z is the endurance type.

Ok thanks for the help. So Z for endurance and F for racier?

Correct. According to Felt anyway. Most of that is marketing BS anyway.

At any rate if you look at the geometry charts for each model you'll see which is longer, lower at the front, more aggressively angled, for a given frame size.

I actually found the F pretty relaxed feeling, though i am hideously deformed and of strange dimensions. Had no problems test riding a Felt from the local dealer in Weedon, and Evans sell them too, so test rides with them should be feasible.

Ok thanks Drago.
