My bike purchase was delayed due to unforeseen wife expenditures .... so back in purchase mode after financial recovery. In speaking with my bike fitter, he is recommending the Felt B14 or Giant Trinity Composite 1 based on my Retul fit. Pretty close in price and I am brand agnostic. Any strong feelings out there either way.

Thanks,

Bruce

You can't go wrong with either one. I'm partial to Felt. My wife has a DA4W and it's one of the nicest frames I've ever worked on (and we have lots of bikes…)

For what it's worth, the mechanic at my LBS said the Trinity is a PITA to work on......I think both look like ver capable bikes for the entry level.

Thanks. I've had a couple people say that the Giant is a good bike but can be tricky to work on the brakes, especially the rear. Felts, in general, have received solid reviews with no negatives. Sounds like the way to go.

Thanks again and safe racing!

The rear brake of the Felt is not that complicated to work on, but you need to set the right tension on the spring and the cable housing length is critical. Took me some time to get it perfect, but it has stayed put since.

Otherwise, the Felts are a dream to work on.

Does a degree or two difference between two frames(head and/or seat tube) really make that much of a difference when it comes to fit?
