Bought this bad boy today.
After test riding: Specialized Roubaix, Sectuer and Tarmac, Felt z85, Salsa Pistola, Giant TCR C2, Gary Fisher Cronus, Jamis Xenith.
The geometry fit me perfectly. It feels very light and responsive and just a lot of fun to ride. I also really really like the Double Tap from the Apex as well as the wider gear range from climbing.
The Masi Evo' Apex was my choice. Super excited to ride this all Summer :-)

Yeah, it was kind of a splurge for me too. I had every intention of buying the 500, but I'm moving to a new area next month and the mapping/navigation features lured me in...

If bought a new Bike Online Last Year from an outfit in Texas called Texas Cyclesport, not only did they have the best price, they where fast on delivery and gave the Best Customer Service, before, during and after the sale. The sizing was right-on. The sales guy was very helpful polite something you do not see these days.
Would use and recommend these guys and would over and over again. A+

Just got some old wheels..
New Old Wheels by Benji Reynolds, on Flickr
Had to change out the cassette body, axel, add a spacer, and then redish the rear wheel to get my 10 speed cassette to work.

Waiting for me when I got home 
Installed new cassette (keeping old whells as beaters).
(Stem height is a work in progress so I will cut it when I find the right height)

My new 2011 Felt F3. I did flip the stem, that's how it got like this :-) It came with white bar tape, which stayed clean for about 2 minutes.

Mt Baker Ski Area in Washngton State, Mt Shuksan in the background.
The snowpack is still pretty deep up on top.

RE: Mt Baker - awesome!!! I bet the plow operators found that snow stake really useful.. ;D
I'm going to be right near there on a bike tour in September. I'll see if I can fit in a side trip.
Sorry for the threadjack, carry on.
