So I would like to get some feedback from the community on the 2015 Felt lineup, specifically the B14. I am a late 30's age grouper who consistently finishes in the top 20% in almost every race I enter. I'm ready to pull the trigger on a new tri bike but because of my limited income as a school teacher the most I can do is about $2200. That has left me looking for used bikes on Ebay, Clist, and the ST classifieds. That was until I noticed this brand new 2015 Felt B-14.

I have already been down to my LBS and they are available for order, the bike fits, and will retail for only $1999. I'm usually one to assume that if something seems to good to be true than it usually is. How is Felt able to offer such a seemingly great bike with an Ultegra 6800 group for $2000 while every other manufacturer worth mentioning is selling similarly outfitted bikes for $800 to $1500 more? (Trek, Cervelo, Specialized, Cannondale, etc) I know the felt B14 is far from the top of the line model, but this still seems like an incredibly great bargain for only $2000. So what if anything am I missing here because this appears to be a nearly perfect bike for what I can afford and for my abilities?
