Member 52  Austin Texas |  Subject: The bike search begins Felt B-16 2014Looks good, sounds great for an entry level/intermediate bike. Haven't read any bad things about the bike. I did notice that the 2013 had Ultegra and the 2014 has 105 components. Is this a real big deal ? They are asking $ 1,799.00. Is that a fair price ? Thoughts ? Thanks in advance. |

It has the new DA based frame. |

Extreme Veteran 554 Maryland | Subject: RE: The bike search begins Felt B-16 2014 Yeah, try and spring for a 2013 b16 if you find one. Got my 2012 b12 for a great price with DA components and have no regrets! Edited by yarislab 2014-01-04 7:15 AM |

| Member 52 Austin Texas | Subject: RE: The bike search begins Felt B-16 2014 Found a 2012 B12 with Ultegra in great shape, asking 2,000.00. May need to look at that as well. The B16 with tax will be more then that. Going looking tomorrow. |

The B12 comes with the TTR wheels, which are a good aero set of training wheels, but if you are planning on getting some race wheels anyway- they may be of little value. If the bike has some upgrades and is in really good shape... maybe. |

| Member 52 Austin Texas | Subject: RE: The bike search begins Felt B-16 2014 Thanks, I didn't realize they were the same frame, I guess the new b12 has a different frame. I do like the B16, was just hoping for a better deal somehow. I'll see what they can do for me. |

| Member 52 Austin Texas | Subject: RE: The bike search begins Felt B-16 2014 I am trying a b16 today to see exactly what size. My road is a 54. I am not stuck on the B series. That is just what I was shown at the local shop so far in my price range. 2K |

Veteran 607 Sykesville, MD | Subject: RE: The bike search begins Felt B-16 2014 I have this 2011 cannondale slice (54) that's full carbon and with upgraded carbon basebar and extensions. rtc shifters, xlab rear mount and so forth. Very nice bike for $1850. see here: http://s1164.photobucket.com/user/triguy44/library/2011%20Cannondale%20Slice%204

Pro 5361 | Subject: RE: The bike search begins Felt B-16 2014 the Slice and B16 are both well trusted, fine mid level tri bikes. Chances are- you would fit on one of them, but not both. The B16 is longer in the reach, typically for people with longer torsos and shorter legs. The Slice - the opposite. (which tends to be good for the typical female body type) But, there's a lot more to fit than just body proportion. |

| Member 52 Austin Texas | Subject: RE: The bike search begins Felt B-16 2014 Thanks guy's. I think I want to get a bike close to home. My son just bought a Cannondale and loves it, he is in Seattle. I appreciate the input. Went to the shop and since it was raining decided to wait to do a test ride. |

Veteran 607 Sykesville, MD | Subject: RE: The bike search begins Felt B-16 2014 Not to play with you words and all, but a bike I ship to your doorstep will be as "close to home" as a bike can get. Good luck either way... would be happy to help if needed. Thanks. |
