That's exactly the one my mate bought a couple of months ago - great bike for the price! A white frame doesn't show up dirt any worse than other colours IME. White tape does though...Yeah I'd say- good spec at a good price- assuming you're looking at THIS ONE FROM LAST YEAR ON WIGGLE- but won't blow the bank if you decide it's not for you. Think carefully about how much you like cleaning your bikes before you choose white- they show up everything
Thanks everyone. This is now purchased and awaiting delivery.
I was seriously considering a Z series for my first (modern) road bike but as I could not find an LBS stocking them I largely limited myself to Scott, Giant and Genesis to test (went with a Genesis). I was however advised by a salesperson for a large national online retailer that they had had some issues with Felt recently due to frame failures. A customer had returned a bike as the frame had snapped, Felt issued a replacement only to have the new frame fail at the exact same place shortly after. It appears Felt have a policy of only replacing a frame once however and refused to replace again. I would possibly still have considered a Felt if I could have tested one as I really like the look. Good luck with your new purchase!are these any good as a starter road bike?
