FS: Felt Racing Machine/Mavic Cosmic Carbones

Taxuser1

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.

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

Is the Bike 2008 or 2012?

Taxuser1

the bike is bought new in 2012. will show receipt.

sullzz

Danmandanman

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

Wheels and cassette sold to Sullzz for 350. Thanks very much my man, very nice meeting you.

Taxuser1

Everything bar the wheels and pedals now for €780 on proviso gearing lug is repaired yourself.

Danmandanman

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

Hi TaxUser,
I have a mate who is looking, (only spotted the pics there!)

Is the bike ready to go or does it need any work done on it?

He is working in Dublin and he has my winter bike for a while just to get used to cycling but he in the market.
Where in Dublin are you.

Many thanks

Thanks for your interest Yop. You'll see in the earlier messages that there is a right gear lug which needs reattaching. Ive been told this is a simple job by 2 bike shops. Its the reason Ive dropped the price so much. Costs 50/60 quid to fix. But it doesnt affect the working of the bike which is ready to go, just must take pedals off.

Ok thanks for that.

What sort of mileage is on the cassette and chain

What condition are the tires in? Are they felt wheels that came on it? Presume they are nothing too light.

Is there many scratches/marks on it? Presume its not cracked or involved in any crashes or falls?

What part of Dublin are you in roughly? And when would it suit to see it?

Thanks v much.

Chain is new, dura ace
Cassette is dura ace, perfect nick,
Tyres are one month old (cost 90 for pair) perfect
Bike and wheels together are less than 18 pounds which is light comparably to any racing bike. The wheels are stock Felt wheels as said but are not heavy. Comfortably solid though.

Not too many scratches/marks but there are some around cabling. The lug broke when I slipped on a white line in the rain. Broke my knee which took the full impact rather than bike but slide took the lug off.

Already mentioned where I'm based Booterstown and available anytime.

Thanks

Not great at all that. Same as yourself, 9 weeks post op and zero sign of a bike ride

Apologise TaxUser1, he is going to go for an alloy as he is afraid of falling and doesn't want to crack it. Apologise for wasting your time.

Original F5 bike and CXP 22 wheels and tyres

Look Keo pedals (not carbon)

Cateye Wireless Computer

Dura Ace cassette and chain

Fizik Handelbar tape upgraded

so it's a full bike ready to go and is at present fully operational.

and the rest is a full 105 groupset?

godtabh wrote: »

Yes, everything.

Bike got 4.5/5 on bike radar and its follow up was even better. It's a cracking bike, just a little too sportive in geometry only for me - the bike has cracking front line flat speed and massive whip up hills. Its crazy light as well - when I'd the Cosmics on, and even with 105 components it was still only 7.5 kgs weighed. Felt are very good at getting their stiffness right as well. I want to upgrade to a more racing model. Had a buyer already but he cancelled last minute and have a bike on order so this is hopefully priced for a reluctant quick sale as it's wort far more to me than the price.

I am interested but the earliest I could get to see it would be next week some time

Would you take €450 without the wheels and pedals? I have a set of zondas that I would prefer to use and prefer spd sl pedals?

i'll take the wheels and pedals off for €525 - the reduction in price would have nothing to do with the wheels/pedals, the frame is a dinger.

How's that sound?
