FS: Felt Racing Machine/Mavic Cosmic Carbones

Taxuser1 · 21-05-2014 9:47pm #1

Felt F5 Carbon Moncocoque throughout, aluminium stem and handlebars though.

History : Purchased 2012 original receipt available. Unused in 2012 due to injury. 500kms only in summer 2013 before small accident resulting in another injury. Small damage to gear lug (as per picture) which will be fixed pre sale.

Bike is sold with following upgrades from stock 105 parts.

Cosmic Carbones with new Dura Ace 10speed & chain (11-25)
Vittoria Open Corsa CXII new
6 month old Wireless Cateye computer
New Look Keo Blades (carbon)

Reason for sale is that Im back racing and want to upgrade. Can't take anything away from this bike though, its such a comfortable ride, incredibly stiff in bottom bracket and responsive when needed. Of all the bikes I have ridden in years racing, this ticks almost all boxes.

Price for wheels, tyres & cassette €450
Price for bike and wheels €1,350

My apologies.

8.2kg with stock parts and wheels but reduced with cosmics and dura ace cassette.

It's a 56cm. I'm just under 6 foot so perfectly suitable for 5.8 to my height.

I'm in Booterstown, South Dublin.

What year are the wheels? They look a bit more dated than the 2012 models??

The wheels didn't come with the bike. In truth, I'm not sure what year they are but both had limited use when i purchased them. The decals were power washed off, the outline of them allstill visible. They are Cosmic Carbones, both perfectly true running a 10 speed cassette. Nothing quite like their sound when I let loose on them.

It's the 2008 model.

Hey , what's the breaking surface of the rims like , what would you let them go for without cassette or tyres , considering the decals would need to be replaced , thanks .

Hi, thanks for your interest Sullzz,

The wheels are perfect and I really mean that. Won a league race with them last night. The braking surface is absolutely spot on as it's alloy, same as non carbon wheels. No burn, no grabbing, nothing preventing them stopping. The wheels have so much forward momentum that in the rain you do need to be careful like any good carbon wheel.

Without cassette and tyres, €300 - the dura ace cassette is one month old as are the tyres

ciarano · 23-05-2014 12:02pm

Is the Bike 2008 or 2012?

Taxuser1 · 23-05-2014 12:04pm

I'll meet you in the middle 290. Tomorrow is not good though, I don't have shimano lock and cassette tools to take the cassette off and cant get to bike shop. unless you do?

sullzz · 23-05-2014 8:29pm

Fair enough 290 it is so , I gave mine out for a loan , id doubt I'd get them back this weekend tho , when would suit you , or how much with the cassette

Danmandanman · 23-05-2014 8:36pm

Hi I'd be interested in having a look at the bike (pref. with wheels but fine without). Cycling home to Wicklow tomorrow afternoon so would be cool if I could drop in on the way. PM me if it suits.

Hi Dan, just to be above board here, can you confirm your offer subject to inspection and I'll arrange then a time. I'm not around from 3 onwards though.

Hi Dan, I'll settle on 800 without pictured pedals instead with Look Keo on hand. If you're happy to view and take the bike before I fix the lug, I'm around tomorrow as suits until 2.

To be honest, I've no idea what fixing lug might cost. Do you have any quotes or know who to go to? I'll get back to you in the morning, cheers.

Taxuser1 · 24-05-2014 9:34am

Taxuser1 · 24-05-2014 9:36am

Looking elsewhere for now, so withdrawing my offer, cheers.
