The only suggestion I have regarding a Felt of those year is to check the hub/sprocket for being tight. They shipped a whole lot of these very loose and it was an easy thing to miss during assy.
Aside from that aspect I had a Felt F series that I liked a WHOLE lot for the price. Some user error concerning interpretation of proper torque on the stem led to my damaging the fork steerer and was very unhappy with the resolution, so I sold it.
