First up we feature Ken Feist's new FELT carbon CX spectacular. Note the white cantilever brakes on the front forks.

And also brakes on the rear of the bike too. Note the nifty hanger with it's subtle banana like stance.

Looks like the owner prefers FSA carbon cranks and a suitably well matched ceramic bottom bracket assembly. Note the Shimano pedals - everyone's prefered choice for shoe/crank interface.

Here's something you don't often see in Tech Features - the filthy underside of a saddle. Fascinating.
Note the 5 screws holding the scuff cover on.
How about that two bolt seat post.

Here, the fork crown seamlessly integrates into the frame. The Pro issue carbon lookalike tape adds a measure of security for the electronic shifting molecular moment transfer cables.

Old meets new. In a previous life there would have been a drink bottle cage mounted here.
So handily the battery pack is mounted here instead, for all the poor people to see.

Another angle showing the battery pack, front servo shifter and chainring combination. We couldn't see any markings on the size of the chainrings and were too stupid to cound to 36/48.

And the rear servo shifting mechanism. Once again the Pro issue tape securely holds the moment transfer cable in place. The backstays also have the manufactururs name displayed.

Ample tire clearance here. If it all went pear shaped and by some unfortunate accident your balls got sucked through the forks I'm guessing it would still smart.
Note the helmet jauntily placed on the handlebars.

Rear tire clearance - much less room for ball sucking here.
Note the chain.
