Strengths:    comfort
control
great all around bike for the every day cyclist or someone thinking about doing their first century or double century.


Weaknesses:    the saddle looks great but not great on the comfort level. the wheels are mavic but still not the greatest.

Bottom Line:   
actually is a 2009. it looks great. the carbon fiber frame absorbs all minor road vibration. the frame is very stiff so that all you power is transfered to the pavement. it make you feel like a sprinter when you are not. it climbs great. the semi compact frame is very comfortable. yet still possible to get aero in descents. it is great to do a century and still feel good and not beat up after.

Strengths:    kyserium wheels, Ultegra and Dura-ace Group, FSA carbon cranks and awesome frame

Weaknesses:    handlebar

Bottom Line:   
This bike is outstanding. Very responsive and light weight. Carbon fork and seat stays absorb road shock very well. Components are all Shimano Ultegra or Dura-Ace except for carbon FSA cranks. Even the brakes are Shimano Ultegra. The bike climbs like a mountain goat and screams downhill like a scoulded banshee. Stearing downhill is awesome, just tuck and go boys! Had some fitting issues to get used to the compact frame but after buying a longer stem, fit is great. I ride steep hills, flats and rolling hills on my 27 mile training rides and it is an all around great bike. The furthest i went is 65 miles and, no complaints. I plan on doing a century this summer on this beast.

Strengths:    it looks NICE. not all glam rock and geewizz just a very nice well thought out design.
Climbs UP and UP makes break free of the flat land where all us clydesdales are.
Makes me feal i can go fast with less effort stay up and not fade.
Sprints better than my abilities.. so it pushes me to become a better rider.
its pretty light. but gram weenies need not apply.. the parts pick is WOW really nice. full dura ace sans crank set.
the carbon crank is quite nice. very stiff and also very sharp looking.


Weaknesses:    Chain rings are alittle weak, pressed steel not CnC.
the Semi-Compact frame is an aquired taste. may require you to tweak position
Felt is very well advertised on the bike. but not much different then the other rolling billboards


Bottom Line:   
I bought this on impluse. the Felt F35 main reason was i live in a hilly area and i kinda wanted to go 10sp. the bike was dumped once and had a bad front wheel but every thing else Full dura-ace 10 circut wheel. the Truevalie Carbon Crank all cherry. the frame is very nice and I do believe that the carbon stays smooth the ride. i did have to get use to the felt simi-compact geom. tweak stem exec. but other then that WOW.. for 700 bucks dang. its major sweet ride. i just got back from a hill repeate session. i would never do that on my 8sp cannondale. and this was after a crew on the river. the bike is light not crazy light. but is really moves out when given power and climbs very nice no slop on the BB. just a fantastic platform for stomping up hills. in a sprint you can really get on top on the gear. and not bog. and the shifting is quite good and i really like the compact for when the road kicks up a bit. i cannot say much bad about the bike. perhaps its a bit of a billboard with felt branded all over it but what bike is not now and days.
nope thats about it as far as cons go.

Strengths:    Not paying for a big brand name. Components. Carbon seat stays.

Weaknesses:    hum sometimes the jump on the dual ring with the FSA can be too much. Needs a carbon seatpost.

Bottom Line:   
Great bike, great value at price. Top notch components at this pricepoint. Good handling, responsive and climbs nice. Well recomended.
