All I can say is this bike is sick. All carbon fiber, Dura-ace components, Vision carbon aero bars. and it even comes with both regular training wheels and Zipp carbon race wheels. 18 pounds of pure, responsive power. And it retails for $5,800.
This puts my old aluminum road bike to shame.
I didn't plan on buying a new bike today.
Really, I didn't. I just wanted to see a fit on a model that I was potentially going to get a smokin' deal online from Slowtwitch.
But, when the great folks at the local store tried to match the smokin' deal online, I had to take it. It was literally a deal I couldn't pass up. We're talking like half the price (including race wheels and training wheels) When they rung up the individual components at the register I got a grocery store printout showing my savings. I laughed hysterically:
I am still reeling from the fact that I finally have my dream triathlon bike. It all happened so fast. I have always maintained that my limiting factor in triathlon performance was a crappy bike, but now I have no excuses.
Guess who's going to be eating rice and beans for the next six months?

AWESOME! Can't wait to see you race on it next year.
Um WOW!! Hold on a minute, let me wipe the drool from my face...
Congrats!
That's almost like being sponsored. I cut down costs for my biking needs by getting a sponsorship. Sponsor prices are a lot better than normal retail ones, but your bike kicks ass!
I speak from experience: rice and beans for a year is TOTALLY worth it. And hurray for local bike shops!
I am SOOOO jealous. Congrats on your purchase and such a great deal!
WOW! That is HAWT! And to get it for half the price, way to go!
How beautiful! Happy riding.
Oh man...I am drooling over that bike! That is awesome!
Very cool. May it always feel fast.
Enjoy.
Jeeeealous! Of course I'd have to ride over 10 miles to justify but that is one hot bike!
Congrats on the new ride. Holy savings!!!!
Yay for the new bike - that's awesome. And anytime you can save over $5,000? Bonus.
W.T.F.? I thought you were a full time student! I won't ask where you got the money...
Nice! What an awesome bike. Can I just say i'm a bit jealous?? :) And what a great deal!!
sweet ride! that is an amazing deal
Wow! I always thought things were more expensive in Hawaii, but apparently that isn't always the case. I you just dying to get on it? I know I would be.
OMG....I am SO jealous! Very sweet ride!!!
That is a sexy bike! Rice and beans are just fine if you get to ride that! Plus your new diet will def make you just as sexy as that new bike! Hahaha! Enjoy!
I know absolutely nothing about bikes, but it looks snazzy! And $5,000 off?? Can't beat that. I hope the rice and beans fuel you well on your new ride!
haha that's too cute! I don't know anything about bikes but it LOOKS really cool!!!!
Holy CR@P that is an awesome deal!
I rode one of the new felts when I was test riding new tri bikes and they were some of my favorites! I wish I had found a deal like you.
Enjoy it.
Whoa. Hella jealous. That's one sexy bike.
That is AWESOME! Rice and beans will taste terrific after a long ride on that amazing bike.
That bike is sexy as hell. I'm drooling all over my keyboard.
Just remember "it's not about the bike!"
wow, great bike, i'd love to have a bike like that....but if it retails for $5800 and you got it for half off and saved $5200, it must have been marked really high to begin with...
wooooooooooow congrats on the new bike! it sure it pretty!
From here it looks like once you get some nice pedals for it, then it will be ready to go. ( Or did they give you a pair, and you just haven't put them on yet? )
That thing looks fast just sitting still.
I don't know much about bicycle... but that bike looks badass! Congrats on the new wheels!
P.S. -
Can you get me one of those for the same price you paid?
That's a sick bike indeed. No more excuses now!
Sweet!
Holy crap! You saved more than I can spend!
that bike is so technologically advanced that you could ride it in space...I think.
that is a hot, hot bike! happy riding!
