This is my second road bike (first was a starter specialized). I've only had this bike for a couple of months and have been racking up miles on it already. The set up suits my ride style, and the 2011 is such a comfortable ride. I have not experienced any mechanical problems. The only negative I've found is that the white grip tape gets dirty looking....but I take that as a sign that it's being used well. This bike vs. price is excellent!!

I rode this bike from Texas to Alaska and it held up pretty well. I have crashed it five times and it seems to be doing ok. I broke a derailleur hanger but that is easy to replace. Several spokes have broken from multiple of my friends that had this bike. I am a Trek guy, but this ride (2011 version) got me to Alaska. I am really impressed with Felt now.

2011 Felt z85, I love this bike. Got into cycling about 2 years ago and still do not feel the need for an upgrade. Have done 2 100k club rides and another one on the way. Made without any problems. Hangs right up there with the higher end bikes twice the price. Only issue was a spoke falling out, I could blame myself for not checking them but It happed with maybe only 100 miles on the bike. Also the seat is cool but way to stiff and a sore booty kicks in at about 20 mile on me, which takes a bit of the fun out of a ride. Felt's attention to detail has alway impressed me!
