I’m in the market for a tri bike. I’ve ordered an IA14 but I’m having second thoughts and was considering cancelling the order and switching to a B14 to save some money. However I’ve just found a 2015 B12 on sale with about 20% off bringing it down to about 2016 B14 prices. I’m very tempted. However I’m also a little confused.
I was under the impression that Felt were no longer doing new models each year but rather updating the model version only as and when there were significant changes. Is this correct? Looking at the listings for both the 2015 and 2016 B12 I can’t see any spec differences. However, the listings do seem to have been re-worded, just not with any spec changes I can see. Is this just a marketing gimmick being use by vendors to sell off bikes at discounts as outgoing models? i.e. they have identical bikes at two different prices or have there been updates I’m unaware of?
Thanks for any feedback!
