Yeah, I am missing some of the season on it. Unfortunately mine is already paid for and I don't want to deal with trying to get something else now. I have a road bike that works for now.

This is the B12.

ive been deciding on a new frameset for a while now and i think im going to settle on the new F1
the only thing that i cant decide on in weather to go 56 or 58

Im 182cms tall and have an inseem of 83cm, currently ride a willier in large which i think is a 55 top tube
i run about 30mm of spaces under my stem and a fair bit of set back on my saddle
i dont want to go bigger if i dont have to but would the 58 be the way to go?
would appreciate a few opinions on which size i should go with, cheers

I just saw a new 2011 F3 at my lbs and it looked fantastic. If I had the cash for a new bike, it would be way up on my list. I was very impressed with the finish and it looks way better than the older frames. Maybe I will take it out for a quick test ride

The 58 has a 580mm horizontal Top Tube..very long for such a small guy.

Do you have a shop you can go to to get sized/fitted? I would recommend that. Without knowing anything else about you, I would say the 58 is too large and that the 56 might be the better fit. But you should really go to a shop and have them size you up.

it is hard to get any F-series right now

I have had a F1 on order since last Oct. I was just informed from my LBS that the 51's require a different rake on the new Easton forks and the scheduled ship date has been moved back to end of April. I guess I'll have a 2011 1/2 F1 by then.

I couldn't get a Felt so I went ahead and got a Giant TCR Advanced SL. Its a bummer but I can't switch bikes half way through the season.

Also a nice bike..i like the 2010 design more than the new one.

Is the Easton fork from the F1 really 380 grams heavy???

BTW i place a order..delivery should be end of april....
