Just picked it up. Sz. 56. Still need to get the fit dialed in and remove those aero pedals :) Better pictures to come later but here's one for now....

As sexy as that bike is, I would much rather have a bike that fit me.

Hmm... massive head tube, massive spacers, and the riser version of that bar. Let's see what it looks like after the fit and hopefully it looks more like you didn't get the wrong size bike.

...isn't there a rule on this for that restricts posting pictures of bikes with pie plates, valve caps, warning stickers, etc.

Oye, my eyes are hurting! :)

Ease up guys; if I recall correctly the OP had a nice Felt - I am sure this will be no different! He did say in the original post he is yet to get the fit dialled. :smartass:

Fit issues aside, I can't believe they ship a 5000$ bike with a clear plastic spoke protector???

I can get why they do it - buying an expensive bike does not imply anything about skills or experience of its buyer ;)

I thought the whole "Vias" thing was based on having the fit dialled before you even had the bike delivered. Guess not.

Industry standard practice. Many shops will remove the plates from the high-end bikes, some just leave them if they're going straight-to-customer and not sitting on the showroom floors for a while.

That is a $12,900 bike (MSRP) plus sales tax. So with sales tax that is a ~$14,000 bike. Doesn't take into account a team or shop discount. Howver, not sure if dealers would allow team/shop discounts on a newly released bike like this right now.
