That is great news. Awesome. My experience with Felt is that they always come through.

Today I called to see if I could ever get a Collavita Team Felt road frame. Beverly was like, "No worries love, I've got one here I can sell to you..."

They aren't even supposed to be available for two months. As a company, I love dealing with Felt.

So Leigh, we are riding Saturday...leaving the SF side of the Golden Gate Bridge at 8:00 AM and riding out to Nicasio and maybe Pt. Reyes Station. Come ride!

Thanks for the invite Cathy, I'm riding in the East Bay on Sat, checking out the course for the Pinole Team Time Trial. Love that Nicasio ride though, it'll be great in this spring weather we're having!

And, of course, I'll take my new bike out for a spin, but probably alone as I don't want to kill anyone else when I propel myself over the bars.

Any tips from others who ride fix?

ride it first on a track, rollers, or in the grass.

Don't "sell out" the first time sprinting. Once you get that thing up to 160 rpm, you need to wind it back down.

I witnessed a spectacular crash when a rider sat up after a sprint in a points race, looked behind him and coasted...

...for about 0.0005 seconds.

Enjoy the fixie, get a front brake, but only use it for emergencies, stop with your legs. Keep your first ride less than 1 hour. My first ride outdoors this year was Jan 1st and I got stuck logging 5 hours on the fixed gear. I'm still recovering.
