Weaknesses:    Saddle

Bottom Line:   
Mine is actually the 2008 model but thats beside the point. This bike kicks ass! The F2 is incredible, its so comfortable, light, stiff, and it looks bad ass. The only problem I had was the seat was a bit uncomfortable at first but i came around to it eventually. I didnt have the Mavic SL wheelset on but it still rides like a bat out of hell. When you want to go, this thing will go. Also climbs great and Dura-Ace is always buttery smooth adding to the great ride. Five stars to Felt on this great bike.

Strengths:    Light
Stiff
Great groupo
Nice paint


Weaknesses:    Felt a bit of road buzz through handlebars on rougher mountain roads.

Bottom Line:   
2008 bike. Not the one in the picture here.
This is my main bike now. I am satisfied with it for all around riding. I bought the B12 as a package deal so the two complement each other quite nicely.
Picked it up in Idaho and spent a couple of weeks climbing passes and circling alpine lakes and it performed very well.

Strengths:    Weight, responsiveness, rides smooth and perfectly true

Weaknesses:    Can be a little twitchy in tight turns, but I have a very short stem (80 mm). Vittoria Diamante Pro Light tires are indeed light but easily damaged and flatted.

Bottom Line:   
Long story--abreviated: Ordered a Felt F3. It arriived at my LBS badly damaged. Felt said no more in my size, so they sent and F1 for only a few hundred $ more. But that arrived with a cracked frame!! So they took all the components off the F1 and put them on an F2 frame. This is a full-on racing machine. Plenty stiff but not harsh. The ride is so true and stable I can ride comfortably no hands at 35 mph. Looks as fast as it rides.

Strengths:    Extremely light (sub 15 lbs), stiff, and ready to race right out of the box. The da groupo and frame are excellent

Weaknesses:    The Felt 1.2 carbon drop bars and the ritchey alloy stem are not a very stiff combination and will need to be switched out. I can feel them give when I am out of the saddle. Also, the saddle will eventually have to be replaced because it is rigid in the nose.

Bottom Line:   
I have had the 2008 Felt F2 for a few months now and have very few complaints. The bike handles, climbs and excellerates excellently. For a bike in the 4-5k price range there are very few that come as well built as this bike. High modulus carbon fiber, full d.a components, and ksyrium sl wheels all in a package is virtually unbeatable. This is especially true when comparing it to similar Cervelo bikes in the same price range that come with sub-par components.

Strengths:    Great frame and superb componests.

Weaknesses:    not to crazy about the saddle. I know its an SLR mold but I think i might swich to a fizik arione

Bottom Line:   
Well it's a 2008 but that option was not available. So far great althow I have not had a chace to properly test its climing. Feather light frame and great componests. I will update further when I get more miles on the frame.
