I am looking for some collective wisdom here?.
I am in the market for a new bike, and a local shop has the Felt AR - FRD in my size at a decent price (I think).
I wasn't really looking for a aero bike but this does seem interesting.
I am coming from a traditional road bike and am pretty much looking for a do it all bike.
I usually do about 15-20 races (crit's etc.. no tri's) a year but also love to get out into the mountains for some climby long rides.
Does anyone own one of these? how is it as an everyday bike?
It likely would be awesome on race day but from what I have read it's a bit on the heavy side and am wondering if I might not have as much fun out on my long hilly days.
Any insight or ideas would be great.
