I am actually really loving the looks of the F55 and F75. These two are at the top of my list along with the Scott Speedster S20. I will by buying my first real road bike here in a few weeks and I am seriously considering one of these. I think they look great.

Well my S22 still hadn't arrived as of this past weekend... Spring is very near and I was at the end of my rope waiting for it to ship from Felt. So... My LBS and I got together and I changed to a Cervelo. I picked up my '07 P2 SL on Saturday and went for my first ride on it yesterday. It was only 40F but it was sunny and the bike is great. I'm sure the S22 is a great bike but after six months and with the weather finally turning; I didn't want to wait any more.
Here is a shot of the P2 SL just before my ride yesterday. I only got in 12.5 miles but it was great!

Kind of a simple decision for me.

i wonder about that F1C weight on the website. 14.9 pounds with those wheels and dura ace? I had a shop do a custom build, on a 2007 F1 Team frame (same as the F1C, different graphics) with Campy Eurus and full 2007 record carbon (dual chainring), ITM millenium handlebars and stem, felt carbon seat post, specialized toupe saddle, and came in at 15.6 without pedals. i think 14.9 is possibly an 'enthusiastic interpretation' of the actual F1c weight.
love that felt geometry though, and I didn't pay anything near 2500 for the frameset. check with your shop, Felt is alowing a small number of the f1 team framesets to be sold to the public this year, according to my shop. The price I paid was below 1000.00. the total built came in at about 3800.00, paying lbs prices for the parts. this is well below a dura ace equipped 07 f1c.

i LOVE my z35. one of the best looking bikes i tested! they look much different in person than on the website.
busy week at work this week (can you tell?). i just got back from a long w/e in ks. very cool rides while i was there.
when i get caught up at work, i'll post some picks of my new z35. so far, my review would be all positive (but my bike is practically a custom build...i swapped out half of the parts).

i just got my 2007 f75 yesterday and it's amazing. i used to have a late 90's GT bike (full steel). it's a whole different ballgame with the 105/Ultegra set up, the carbon rear end feels great, it looks AMAZING, and it didn't come with that ugly gear. it has a nice one that goes well with the cranks. pictures will be posted soon.

Here are some pics of my F75. Look at the gear on it compared to the one they show on the website (it's on the first page of this thread).

Nice, snugent! I've had my 2007 F75 for a couple months now and am loving it. Fast, smooth and good-looking (though did they really have to put "feltbicycles.com" on the seatstays?). I'll try to get a photo up, but you've pretty much got it covered with your pics!
When you say the gear is different than the one shown on the homepage, are you speaking about the chainring? I thought they were the same, but that perhaps the lighting made them look different. Either way, the bike looks better in "person."

How much did you pay for the 2007 F75? I was looking to purchase my 1st bike. At Velo, it is regular $1399 for it and $1150 for the 2006.
