A bike doesn’t have to be expensive to be fast. This is the case with the A2 Speed Phreak that Kennett Peterson will be riding this weekend in Kona. Here is a detailed bike gallery on the home page up now.
A2 Bikes founder AJ Alley will also have his personal Speed Phreak on hand at the Slowtwitch Gathering today in Kona.
While the entry price 105 model may be cheap, the eTap with race wheels (much closer to what Kennett Peterson is racing here) is a $10k bike… Not sure why we are making it sound like he’s racing a budget build…
Yeah, this looks like a decent deal, and initially caught my attention, but when you peel back the curtain, the “ridiculously affordable” moniker is “ridiculously exaggerated”.
I like this paint job a lot better. With deep wheels and Zipp bars it’s $2200.
Both are felt da clones

Agree, was all excited but the Ultegra version is $4299 if I recall correctly. Paid $5000 for P5 I will stick with that.

The 105 price is amazing…but almost 3k difference when you go to Ultegra mechanical…not even Di2.
That’s bc you get a 55mm carbon wheelset instead of the alum 30mm. The 105 build with the 55mm wheels is $3,399 which isn’t such a great deal either

Not even close.
Kinda looks more like a rim brake shiv tt with a different seatpost

It must be my eye sight getting worse:
Put a a flat stem on the DA (like I had) and you have tough time discerning which is which. It is not a bad thing though, the Felt DA4 is/was an awesome bike.

Damn, that’s a screaming bargain.
The Felt has a bayonet style fork, a deeper seat tube, seatpost curves forward instead of back, the angle behind the headtube is clearly different, headtube is narrower, stem is totally different… etc. Those are just the obvious differences from looking at a picture.
