I tried out a Felt while looking for a new bike and It wasn't comfortable for me. I am 6'3" tall with a 35 inch inseam. The shop owner even swapped out the stock stem to very short stem and it still wasn't comfortable. The top tube is long, but Felt also has a short head tube length, which tend to lower the front handlebars. My road bike is a 61 cm specialized, and I tried out a 58 and 60 cm Felt, and both were uncomfortable for me.
As always, try before you buy.
Okay, one other bike I'm considering. It's a Felt DA700 w/full Dura Ace. Great bike! I am interested to know if anyone out there is riding one and what they think. I'm 6-2 w/ 34" inseam and riding a 60cm Cannondale road bike. The Felt is also a 60cm. This seems right but I've read some opinions that state the top tubes on felts are very long....any thoughts? Also considering a 59cm Griffen (prev post) as the "other" option.
Thanks for the views.
