I bought this '05 Felt F65 end of August from my LBS for $899. I picked up a set of Dura-Ace 7700 brakes (for cheap) and a new Dura-Ace 7800 crankset (onsale). I also replaced the crappy Alex ALX220 wheels with a set of Velocity Aerohead wheels from Mike Garcia and the crappy Wellgo pedals with Dura-Ace SPD-SL pedals. I have over 500 miles on the bike already and I love it! I have about another $700 into it but it is so much better now than it was when I bought it.

I have a Felt 50, It is a 2003 with all Aluminum frame and carbon Fork. All Ultegra triple gruppo with Cosmos Wheels. I added a Flight deck, Look Pedals and a Body Geometry Seat.
I love the bike although it is a little harder ride than my Ritchey BAB. Everything on it works great all of the time. I rode it on Cycle Oregon in 2004 and have about 3500 miles on it. It is my winter bike now that I have the Dura Ace Ritchey BAB
Incidently, I haven't seen another 50 in this list??? Has anyone compared the 2004 frames with the carbon rear triangle to the earlier ones???
