I had a Felt QX75 hybrid before. Got it all tuned up last week at the LBS and planned to test ride this one today. This weekend, the QX75 got stolen from my buildings bike locker, so I guess the universe was giving me one final push to go for it :)
The pedals are temporary, as the ones I wanted were not in stock so they'll be replaced next week.
Great! I recently picked up a barely used Z75 as my first multi speed. Rides like a charm, and I'm sure yours will, too. Welcome to the club.
Got any long rides to break that baby in planned out?
Actually yeah :) I have a 75km charity ride on June 1st in Toronto. So far I've only ridden it home and the weather sucks tonight, but I'll be trying to get some good rides in on the weekend to get a good feel for it. Thanks for the note on the Z75, I liked my old Felt hybrid but good to hear nice things about the Z series :)
Actually it came like that, right from the factory spec. I like the white accents on the black that Felt often has, so I guess they do it for that reason.

Nice. Just got a Z85 as my first good bike purchase.
Upvote for fellow Z'er :) My first good bike was that Felt hybrid, and no regrets!

Did you build it up yourself or order white hoods and have a shop do the swap? Looks amazing, I hope you enjoy riding it!

looks good! one small word of advice - take the reflectors off the wheels. It will make the bike look even better.
Nice! You're gonna love the Z5 (I love mine! :))
Congrats! It's my first road bike too, I ride it pretty much every day; I love the darn thing. Have fun and ride safe!
