Riding a team issued IA this year coming from a Dimond/Cervelo and I would buy one (Felt) in a heartbeat. Although I love the Dimond, the IA is top notch.

I do plan to keep riding a Felt. Its just a nice bike.

I researched the IAs awhile back. It's a surprisingly heavy bike. Shockingly so.

This is my first post, but since I own a IA16 I'll respond. I was down to a P2 and 16, I chose the 16 mainly off looks, it's looks awesome IMO. The calpac I was aware of and contacted Felt and they said late summer early fall they will have a new one that will fit the old bikes. With that I bought one. Since I have put a set of 60 Boyd's, changed the arm rest pads to ceegees and have omega X brakes and dura ace levers not yet installed.

Love the bike, wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger again.

(Tried posting a pic, can't figure it out)

Slam dunk, no browner. I have an IA16, and I would buy it again. The criticisms of the calpac are grossly overstated.

The new Calpac will be here very soon. I've seen it, it's a big improvement, don't let that stop you. How it will be rolled out is even better, but I'll let Felt reveal that one on their own.

Looking at the IA16 I don't feel like there's anything even close bang for your buck at the $3k price point and having ridden one for a bit over a year now I have zero to complain about. Great bike!

I have an IA10, and love it. The Calpac is an irritant, but certainly not a dealbreaker at all! Probably my biggest gripe is the weight. Would I buy it again? Absolutely!

I bought an IA the very first year it was out and even had to wait 6 months after deposit for the bike to come in.

Awesome bike. I use the Calpac all the time and it's great.

I do NOT find it heavy at all. At all.

I have a IA14 and I am really happy with it. It is a really fast bike! As others noted it is a bit heavier than other bikes, but don't really think it makes a difference for triathlon, as aerodynamics is way more important. And the calpac is not ideal but I had no problems with it, plus there should be a new improved calpac soon.

I bought a 2015 IA4 on closeout and couldn't be happier. The bike is fast and comfortable.

I want back and forth between the IA16 and the Cevelo P2 this winter. I ended up going with the P2 (probably because they finally make it in black!), but the IA16 is equally nice, if not better, with a more modern style frame. I do prefer the P2 storage bosses on the P2 top tube to the Felt Calpac. I got a nice Xlab bag for storage on the top tube. I would suspect Cervelo is going to re-do the P2 pretty soon and introduce a new frame style. The current frame has been around for awhile now. Good luck!
