I have followed. I have been hoping for something designed for the IA.
I'm in no hurry, but these two things have been preventing me from buying this bike. I'm kind of sick of half-ass solutions to bad design.
This is exactly why I wouldn't buy the IA. I pulled an IA14 off the rack at my shop the other night to look at it closer. I just don't see why Felt would release a bike with no accessories to go with it. If Trek and Specialized can do it, Felt needs to do it too. The budgets of the larger companies may be bigger, but at the prices of these bikes, people are expecting more.
The new QR PR3 has a draft box and it's $2500. Cervelo assumed that XLAB or another company would create a box for the bottom bracket area. It never happened. If Felt is assuming someone will create draft boxes, it won't happen. What's hilarious is seeing a Dark Speed Works or XLAB bag strapped on over the Calpac to attempt to fix a design flaw.
I expect more from bike companies for the prices we pay.
