06 Felt F65 Bike Porn!
Got a sweet deal on this F65 a couple weeks ago on ebay. New old stock. Retailed for $1699 but I got it for $949. Aluminum frame with carbon fork and stays with full Ultegra. Swapped the stem for one a little shorter, put on a Toupe saddle before my butt even touched the stock one, and slapped on some old Look pedals until my 2008 Ultegras get here. Just got it last week and took it on a 30 mile ride this weekend. "Felt" pretty darn good. Quite a diff for me since I haven't had this kind of real road bike since I got my Atlantis a couple years ago.
Anyway, here's the obligatory pics!
Sorry if the logo is distracting, I didn't feel like making dupes for BF.

I was actually looking hard at yours... dug the color scheme. But instead I was able to go a year older with the upgraded components. I'm usually not into silver-ish cars or bikes but the finish looks real nice in person and I already have two black bikes.
