Strengths: CORNERS WELL, APPEARENCE, FEEL, OVERALL RIDEWeaknesses: HANDLEBARS - I CHANGED TO SPECIALIZED CARBON, WHEEL SET-I WOULD LIKE TO UPGRADE HERE TOO - IT CAME WITH MAVIC AKSIUMBottom Line: I HAVE A 2008 FELT F-4 DOUBLE. BEST BIKE I HAVE EVER BEEN ON. THE RIDE IS STIFF, CONTROLABLE, AND YET FAST. THE ONLY PROBLEM I HAD WERE THE HANDLEBARS WHICH I UPGRADED TO SPECIALIZED CARBON BARS. THE BIKE IS UNBELIEVABLE FOR THE VALUE, EVEN AT THE LISTED PRICE. I HAVE RECENTLY TESTED A TARMAC PRO, WHICH WAS AWESOME ITSELF, BUT NOT AS SMOOTH AS THE FELT. THIS REALLY IS AN AWESOME BIK, I WOULD RECOMEND THIS BIKE TO ANYONE OF ANY LEVEL
Favorite Ride: MANY LOCAL HOUSTON-AUSTIN RIDES, MAINLY BIKELAND STORE RIDE
Price Paid:

Strengths: lightweight, good component set (especially on the '08 model) sleek looks, all carbon fiber for <2500Weaknesses: uncomfortable seat, and it's so dear to me that i'm always worrying about itBottom Line: i have thus far been really pleased with this bike. i can't claim to be an expert rider by any means, but i enjoy riding and am working toward being a competitive triathlete. i've put about 1100 miles on it so far without issue. it climbs pretty well from what i can tell, though without a compact crankset i find it difficult to keep cadence on steeper hills. regardless, this thing flies and is very lightweight, which is nice. My biggest gripe is the seat, which i find uncomfortable for longer rides, and causes soreness and chafing. perhaps i haven't adjusted it right, but i've tried several setups and haven't found a solution yet.

Strengths: Stability, smooth shifting, and IMHO a sexy bike.Weaknesses: The seats a little hard, but that's what padded shorts are for.Bottom Line: Bike is actually a 2008 with most Ultegra SL parts. I rode my brother's bike for a few weeks (a 2006 Giant TCR Limited) and I just knew I had to have CF bike. I borrowed his bike to do a local triathalon, but fell in love with road biking as a result where I had to get my own. After doing some research, I thought the F4 offered the most bang for the buck. Since Felt upgraded the 08 model to Ultegra SL, I knew it was the bike for me.
Compared to the Giant, it feels a lot more stable in the turns probably because of the slightly longer wheelbase. Also, the shifters are noticeably more smooth.
I added Ultegra pedals as the only addition to the bike (in addition to CF bottle holders). So far, I'm loving the bike and should do very well for this upcoming triathalon.
Favorite Ride: Felt F4
