Felt QX95 2009

[Bear]

Does anyone have one of these ? (or any of the QX range) I rode one today, and i really like it ... i'm really surprised.

Can anyone confirm the sizing please ... does it go S,M,L,XL ... or XS,S,M,L ? the one i rode was a 52

I have checked Felts site, but i cant see it.

Thanks

Hi
On the Felt site they refer to frame sizes as 48, 52, 55, 58cm.
Doesn't seem to refer to S,M,L etc, but does that really matter?

I'm guessing as my spesh sirrus 55cm is a medium and I think my ridgeback is too, it goes XS, S, M, L but that doesn't matter as long as fits you and feels right. It looks a nice bike btw.

thanks for that guys ... i dont want to get to hung up with the sizing, but the measurments on paper looks to small ... although it does feel pretty good ... and what a beautiful bike in the flesh ... and they can really do a stunning deal.

I'm 6' / 32" leg so it should be too small really ?

I'd be interested on the official line from Felt.

£900 fora generic flat bar aluminium hybrid seems a bit gratuitous to me... what are you paying for exactly?

We're all dfferent size wise but a 52cm does seem small to me; I'm only 5'9" and a bike fit suggested a 56cm frame. When I got the ridgeback I was offered a small (about 52cm) test rode that liked it but decided to order in the medium (55cm) in the long run although I had to wait a few weeks I'm glad I did.

The offical line from Felt is that a 52, is a medium.

I would normally never look at bikes with that sort of price tag, only that it was in my local by chance ... After months of looking, it has everything i need, and with the HUGE reduction on price the're offering its very tempting.

 

[bonj2]

what reduction is that
£900 down to what?

what's that got, that you need, that a £400 hybrid hasn't got

Nothing ... apart from quality & looks ... but when i think for an extra £100 ...

 

[bonj2]

get it if you want... i just think it's a rip off if it's £900

i do know what your saying ... criminal really
