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

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

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.
