Just take out a second Third loan and buy one of the 08's. You can never have too many bikes!

That's one hot bike and the price point seems like a steal!

The graphics are cool.  It's basically the B2 with their own fork design (which looks strikingly like the Easton fork that came on mine .......).

I wasn't a big fan of the graphics on the 2007 felts, but they really did a nice job for 2008. I wonder how aero this bike is compared to the DA.

Guys, I got one.
This really is a nice ride.
I've got 100 or so miles on it and I can say I am much faster on this than my road bike.
The bike is very light and stiff.
Still in the break in stage, but the shifting is getting better, (you know the teeth need to get rounded).

The big question I had about the bike was the frame and wheel set.
The frame is tight.
So the wheels, they are Felt brand, not sure how makes the rims or hubs.
The rims are alu dbl wall, with ritchy rim tape, the spoks are bladed of med quality, but the hubs looke to be good quality.
I pulled the front apart and the berrings are seal NMB type, so I'm sure they will last, and I know replacement/upgrades will be easy to find.

The rear break is down by the BB and to adjust the starbord side break pad will be a little tough, I am going to have to grind down a 5mm key to fit between the chainring and pad.

Nothing on this bike need to be upgraded, except a new set of race wheels.

See my blog if you want more info.

Looks sweet ... I just ordered the B2 Ultra? The one with the yellow graphics. Got a sweet price, I'm jealous, wish I had mine already. Have fun!
