Anything new on 2006 Felt bikes?

Anyone have anything new on the 2006 Felts? There were some posts a few weeks ago about an aluminum B2 and some new road bikes.

Any pics?

Thanks in advance. FLO

big secret. Awesome though…

Let me guess - a carbon B2 or equiv.

I want to know when the carbon F24 is coming out…

Oh man!!! You’re killin’ me here. :wink:

It could be the coolest thing ever, OR it could win Tom’s vaporware of the year award.

I thought someone already said no carbon B2 this year.

Correct. No carbon B2

Let me guess, they decided to follow suit and leave the sub $1700 market, upspeccing the S32 to Ultegra 10 with an integrated seat tube post and thus Felt will have 4 very similar frames, with very similar component specs. Paint will become a LARGE determination of cost, instead of components. I’m just guessing everyone is doing the same damn thing this year.

Just tell me they are keeping the F55 or similar. I’d really like to buy one now with the closeout prices but it’s just not in the budget yet. Next year should be different.

Agree with you that the F55 looks pretty cool and isn’t spec’d too badly. As for me, I’m hoping they keep something like the S22 (which would be my first real tri bike). To be quite honest though, I hate the color of the 2005 version.

The F55 will stay pretty much the same. Updated graphic and price increase (buy now if you can find one).
If I remember correctly, they are losing one aluminum model (S25).

Some of us have heard whispers about a carbon bike. Just whispers. If it comes to pass, it will be outstanding! If not, we won’t have gotten your hopes up.

All I’ve got out of those tight lipped Felt bastards is that the B2 has vision tech aero bars this year and that the D/A is going to be carbon… however the D/A is a “mid-season” project. Apparently its going to blow away everything though.

Kinda funny as I was thinking that Felt already had a fairly closely nit collection of tri bikes. I was actually thinking the B-2 had to go carbon or some other significant change to widen teh gap between thier bikes a bit. It’ll be interesting to see what they do.

Felt Bikes definitely look the best. They just plain look fast. Is there any infor on the 2006 S32 because I am going to but one soon. Is their a new color or price hike? The bike is a great deal for an ebntry level TT bike. Thanks in advance for any info. I thought their 2005 red looks pretty good.

If I remember correctly, the S32 is going to be silver.? Man, don’t quote me on that. It may be black. It’s not going to be red. Looking at too many '06 bikes right now. Head is swimming.
There will be a slight increase in price as it goes to 10spd for '06.

i hate that liquid orange paint, as someone else posted. that’s why i couldn’t bring myself to get an 05. i keep looking and waiting. superdave said we would know by the middle of this month…no public info yet though.

damn. i just want to know about the paint!

come on–someone offer up something…

Not a lot of bright colors for '06. B2 remains black. S25 is also black. I expect a lot of black.

My wife saw that color and said why would anyone want a “burnt siena” colored bike?!?

I’m hoping for red. Everyone knows red bikes are fastest. :wink:

The F24 does get a Carbon Fork this year. Perhaps the full F24C will be out by '08.
