The thing is, how will I know what to look for? All I know based on my current bike is that my current bike feels a bit heavy (over 13kg with all the extra bits and pieces), the gearing is set for commuting (20-30kph max on flat) and I can feel the road a lot on it. The 7005 Alum abutted frame seems to highlight the worst things bumps in the road. Im not sure of its the frame to be exact. It could be me.
The Felt looks the goods on paper. I have read some reviews they say an upgrade in wheel set is needed. The seat post is completely carbon, just carbon lined or something to that description. Other than 105 componentry, carbon front fork and a max weight of just over 9kg, is this a good entry level bike that I could upgrade componentry over time?
