Thanks for the recommendation. I'd love to do 28s -- if not, 25s are probably not worth it and I'll just ride my MTB. Or buy a cheapie bike to ride this winter so I don't mess up my nice one.

Buy Felt Z5 instead of Felt Z6, difference in price less than $300

Rode the Z6 and loved it; definitely going to buy it or upgrade and order the Z5. The main difference is that the Z5 is Tiagra + no-name crank, while the Z6 is full 105 (not brakes). The difference...
