I run a latex tube with valve extender, multi tool and two tyre levers and a co2 valve in my calpac. Co2 cartridges sit behind saddle.

Personal best:

Ironman 70.3 4:20:00

You can remove the top tube compartment with super tiny torx - only two of those bolts are covered in glue and it's a pretty easy scrape-away with a dental tool or some such to get it free. If you remove that compartment then you could probably pack the toptube/downtube cavity with a tubular/CO2/etc but there's no way it would fit inside that compartment.

Felt Sales Meetings are this week, so I'm guessing I'll get a look at the 2018s within a week or two. That pic doesn't have the new calpac, so I'm guessing it's not a 2018 color. But we'll see!

That really sucks if the calpac isn't a big improvement. I'm still clinging to hope.

You are probably right, but colors can be region specific - for example, the IA had an Ultegra option last year in Asian markets we didn't have here in the States that was black and red.

Ia14 White black

Sorry, I have to leave that to Felt. It appears very functional to me. Nothing ground-breaking but a definite improvement. Their rollout will be great...they know the original wasn't very good, so they want to make it right.

Yeah, that's what Jim's post seems to imply, but I'm sure that's not what he really meant. But seriously Jim, if you're not going to tell us, don'#t tell us. Enough with the teasers!

Ia16 red
Ia14 White black
ia10 fullblack with a touch of red in the fork.
They briefly had them up on their B2B before taking them down. I believe it was accidental and what I saw may not have been comprehensive.

If memory serves, I saw:

IA16 - Red like in the picture (https://www.instagram.com/...feltbicyclesthailand)
IA14 - Didn't see a new option
IA10 - gunmetal gray and charcoal color - looked good - sold as a frameset as well
IA 2 - mostly a powder blue/neon blue look with black - my first reaction was that this looks absolutely amazing.

I was told a few months back the IA14 would no longer be available. Not sure if that's still true, but sounds like it.

Any word on the retrofit for the IA bento box? I have heard there is a hard sided option coming out soon.

You can take what Jim has said in the last page or two to the bank. He knows what's going on better than I do and everything he has said lines up 100% with what I've been told.

My guess is there won't be a new box, just rumors. Too bad no 3rd parties ever came to the rescue.

Your guess is wrong. There are pictures on Instagram of Daniela Ryf's IA that have a new bento box and a draft box.

I'm not inclined to take the Instagram pictures as sufficient evidence there are commercial aftermarket accessories on the way but I expect Jim know's what he's talking about so it seems to be true.
