Santa was running late...

This season will officially see the team aboard Felt's new flagship full suspension model, the Virtue 1. This weapon shall be the ride of choice for this season for the guys, with Ash and paul already having their bikes built, and Jack and Jason's just being delivered! With the Otways Oddessy in only a few weeks, the guys will be full tilt getting used to the new rides, with early reports putting the fun factor at 10, and speed at 11. These bikes are awesome, and dripping with top shelf parts! With the latest Cross Max SL wheels from mavic, featuring the new 4 pawl freehub and better seals, to the unbeatable Avid Juicy Ultimates with their titanium hardware and trick red adodised highlights, and all the way through with Shimano's flawless XTR groupset with its cool new look. To round out the package, add a healthy dash of carbon, and Fox suspension comonents front and rear with 140/130mm F/R travel and you've got a true no-holds-barred weapon that is such good fun to ride!

I'll try and post some pics of the build up, and tuning process to give you an insight into how much work it takes to make EVERY bike perfect, regardless of brand or price!

Felt Racing team dinner tommorrow night sees the team off to a japanese restaurant where they throw food at you (in a good natured way) called Teppanyaki! Seems that we have something to celebrate with the ending of one season, the start of the next and the arrival of our felash new bikes!
