Help Identifying Felt AR Year
I was recently given a used Felt AR racing bike (yay!). As someone brand new to the biking world, I would really appreciate if anyone had any insight into the year (having trouble matching to the Felt archives) and any other tech specs of this bike because I'm not super sure what I have here. Please send me a pm if you think you might be able to help because I don't have forum permission to post a link or picture of the bike in this post. Thanks so much in advance!

The first questions are what size is the frame and what size frame do you need. If they don’t match then you have an issue.
I can post post the picture if you can email it to me. I’ll PM you my email address.

The AR is an "aeroroad" bike - really a time trial bike. Not exactly the ideal rig for a beginner.
Look for the serial number - probably on a label on the underside of the down tube.

Thanks for the suggestion! I think you are probably correct in that, I was thinking of selling/trading it for a less aggressive road bike.

Felt's FAQs say,
Finding a way to post a photo is going to be the easiest thing, or just ask Felt. The biggest delineation is where the rear brake is; if it's on the seat stays it's a 2013 model or earlier, and if it's on the underside of the frame near the bottom bracket/cranks, it's 2014 or later (don't think they've meaningfully updated the frame since).
"CAN YOU HELP ME IDENTIFY THE MAKE AND MODEL OF MY FELT BIKE? I HAVE THE SERIAL NUMBER.
Your bike’s serial number may not necessarily point to its exact model or model year. But send us a photo of your bike and we’re happy to help identify it."Finding a way to post a photo is going to be the easiest thing, or just ask Felt.

It is a 54 cm frame which I believe would fit me. Thanks so much for offering to do this, turns out that I still need to have 10 posts just to read a PM so i'll just make 10 posts and put up the picture myself
