My n+1

So it was a lot more than I was planning to spend, but I couldn't resist the absolute bargain of this Felt VR2.
Absolutely amazing bike, I'm completely in love with it. Light as anything, and climbs like a legend.



Despite the title of the thread, I have sold 2 existing bikes from my collection, which takes me down to 3.

My only criticism is the cables at the front are a bit too long, but don't think I can do much about that.

Fantastic! I love my Felt too. First ride was just "wow".

Welcome to the hallowed and exclusive ranks of Felt owners.

Although I thought the di2 was broken or needed reindexing, as it wouldn't shift into the smallest 2 cogs on the cassette.
Found out this is a feature to keep the chainline good, where it will prevent shifting into those cogs unless you have already changed up to the big chainring at the front.

If you're in the big ring, and in one of the 2 smallest cogs, and you shift to the smaller chainring, it will automatically shift the rear to the 3rd smallest.
Very clever.

I must admit, I was slightly drunk when I ordered it!

Nice to know big brother Shimano is looking after you.

Lovely bike, when I was in the flooring business I used to love having my under Felt. Enjoy.

Wish I had a bike that climbs like a legend.
Mine makes me do all the work. Its a right lazy sod.

climbs like a legend.

Can't help but ask: " Does it go up by itself then or do you still have to push the pedals?" I haven't found one yet that climbs so well, I still have to rely heavily on my legs.

Very smart
Excellent choice from a fellow Felt follower

I mean it's light, and smooth and really well geared
