Fast & Furiour Friday - FELT F2

Today we are going to highlight a bike that I have been riding since last Saturday the Felt F2.  The build on my bike is 105 with a Mavic wheelset but it is still a very responsive bike.  We had this bike out during the demo day last weekend and we needed some hands on testing and this bike was my size so off we went.  I have not been disappointed at all with the ride quality on my ride home from the shop, on some hill climbs on the Rice Road race course, and some fast flat stuff with Tom's Pro Bike Monday Night Ride. 



Few road bikes can match the F2’s extraordinary blend of light weight, stiffness, strength, and precision handling. It’s the balance of these traits—achieved through meticulous engineering and superior UHC Performance carbon fiber materials—that sets the F2 apart. With race ready components and the proven Shimano Dura Ace components and FSA K-Force cranks, the F2 is a no-nonsense race machine.
