Felt Breed
Steve Makin reviews a big lad's bike with shonky brakes, skinny tyres, dodgy bars, a very racy saddle and no gears. Possibly the most fun bike he's ridden in years.

Bit pricey fella!? you’d get a better deal on a Specialized singlecross. Plus you get a better saddle to perch your ass!
£724.99 for that?!
Does seem expensive compared to a Tricross SS. Nice though.
compared to a Specialized Singlecross it’s a far better bike, with superior, and longer lasting, finishing kit all round
Looks nice but there’s no way my back would stand up to riding singlespeed whilst being leant ofver that far.
I’m not into SS but that does look nice! >£700 does sound a bit steep though, but I might think differently if I saw one in the flesh.
Now I think of it I’m not sure I’ve ever seen any Felt in the flesh, ever.
I picked up a Tricross for £350, most of the bits have had to be replaced (or about to) but the replacement parts certainly don’t add up to £400…
SSCX definitely super fun for the winter.
Hmmm. I like. £300 more than the TriCross but better wheels, chainset & brakes. Not a bad investment at all.
I think this years Tricross is £499 RRP ?, sure the Felt has better quality components, not sure its £200 worth of better components, but hey I liked the colour
Never mind suplesse Mr Makin, I’m more impressed with your flexibility. Blimey that’s one hell of a drop from that saddles to the tops of your bars let alone the drops.
dont!!! dont make me want another bike
praps when i get a new job ill blow the first paycheck on something like that….. perhaps….
Got the Tricross SS myself. The perfect commuter. Amazed how much fun it is. Haven’t been on the mountain bike since I got it.
SS Cyclocross is the way to go.
