2012 Felt DA4 or 2014 Blue Triad EX
Quote | Reply
Deciding between a 54" Felt DA4 with profile cockpit upgrade and adamo saddle along with upgraded ultergra crank OR 2014 BlueTriad EX w SRAM Force. 0 miles full warranty. DA has 500-1000 miles on it. I'm 6'0" so usually a 56" but my understanding is felts run long, so 54" is likely the right size.

Thoughts/input on which bike to buy?

at 6' I'd be surprised if a 54cm is the right size unless you're running a slack and low (UCI TT) position.
The 2012 Felt DA4 frame is the same mold as the 2015, so you aren't giving up anything in terms of aero in getting an older frame.

If the DA is used would you be able to get it for an extended test ride?

I just bought a Triad EX a month ago & I couldn't be happier. I was looking at a Felt B2 as well, but ruled it out because the Blue had a better component set for the money.

Another vote for Blue here, as my Triad SL is quite possibly the best handling TT bike I've owned. Corners extremely well, feels very fast and looks just plain awesome. Every time I ride with others I get comments on how great it looks. Also, Steve (CEO) is extremely responsive and helpful.
