I'm afraid that is impossible. I do not sell Felt Bicycles, I just work there (at the Irvine, CA USA Tech center). I'm certain that F FRD bikes and frames have shipped from the factory. I'm checking the destinations exported to thus far. I'll reply when I have more news.

I already liked what Felt did with the new F-series/F1. With the F FRD using Oxeon Textreme spread tow carbon I really wanna try one. For my frame a 54cm F FRD happens to be a perfect fit.
@SuperDave: Glad that's cleared up!
@Wildman: Let's hope you get your Felt F FRD soon.

Sorry for the delay. The F FRD kits were cleared to ship on March 10th from Taiwan. Container shipments usually depart on Thursday from Keelung Harbor/Port which would be March 13th of that same week. Transit times to Europe are 3-4 weeks. Customs clearance is 2-10 days, Distribution takes 1-7 days.
I'm involved with the production of the bicycles but much less so of the sales, especially outside of North America where I have very little contact with our global distributors. With that said I hope to hear back on where the F FRD are in the transportation from their origin. Apologies if additional obligations and higher priorities delay my reply here.

Still no bike but I have been informed it will land in Germany this week, then be shipped to the UK.
I have actually seen a photo of one in someones house so they do exist...

Wow, that looks mean.
Just finished off the 2015 version and photoshoot and I can say I might like the look of yours just as much as the new one.

Gorgeous bike!
Not that light but not that heavy either. With a platform like the F FRD it has a lots potential. How does it ride?
