Long story short ended up with another new bike. Found a massive crack in the driveside chainstay on my original Felt, and thanks to a local shop, got a new frame, and well, here we are:
Highlights → Felt FR30 frameset (aluminum frame, carbon fork) / Shimano 105 R7000 drivetrain / HED Ardennes Black wheelset (running 700x28 Continental Grand Prix 5000s) / fi’zi:k Arione R3 Versus Evo saddle
Eventually will be going a full Easton EA70 cockpit, but, one thing at a time. Also, this bike is a lot of fun to ride...
- Is this your daily commuter?zarkonite
- @zarkonite Could be a commuter, but not daily. More like my zip zip zoom bike.skwiotsmith
- I fully know I could go lighter & faster & all carbon, but something about the aluminum frame/carbon fork just works better for me...skwiotsmith
- It's a nice setup, looks like comfortable enough for long treks. I got all carbon now and I feel like it's too easy to ride =) It just keeps on gliding foreverzarkonite

- It's comfortable & fast. I've already claimed a Strava KOM on it (a 3mi urban segment no less).skwiotsmith
