I went to my LBS to demo and find the correct size and then decide on which model to buy, but came back from a 10 mile all out effort on the B2 with a grin ear2ear. Walk out with it that day. The bike was fast even out of the aero position. I'm looking forward to nicer days to back outside.

Have fun!!

Justin,

Thanks for the advice.

Also, I have and love the B2. If I said Pro, I was mistaken. It's basically, a DA with different bars and wheels. I'll be honest that I have only riden it twice outdoors since I bought it. With the weather/daylight/schedule, I've been on a trainer for the past two months tweaking my position. I think for the price it is a great buy, but so is the B12(Last years B2 Frame) I picked mine up for $3K and I'm sure you could get the B12 for well under $2600.

I did replace the Seat(OUCH) with a Fizik which I ride on my road bike. I also swapped aerobars with Profile T2+ Cobra(More curve for wrist). My LBS did all this Free for me, but I have also spent a pile of money in their in the past 3-4 years.

My recent purchase has been having my existing rear wheel build with a PowerTap SL 2.4. I'm hoping to get a call any day to pick it up.

The only other bike I demo'd was a Cervelo while a spectator at IMF and it was nice, but I think Felt has done a great job with a more complete line of TT bike this year in every price point. Lastly, with two of the top TT riders on Slipstream Chipotle this year, I would expect the demand for all Felts to be taking off in 2008/09. They are our team now that Discovery is out. That doesn't mean that I discount Team High Road now that they are based in the USA. They should do well this year.

Sorry to ramble, I'm a roadie at heart. Go and ride the B2 and B12, you may find them similiar with the exception of the fork. It seems to handle well on the B2, but like most TT bikes they don't handle a well as a road bike.

Hope that helped.
