Get the one that's set up and fits better. $1000 Bikes are commodity
items. If one has a better widget here or there, it's usually a matter
of three minutes and a few bucks.
That said, the big standout difference between the bikes is that while
the Trek comes with exceptionally stupid wheels for no reason other
than sales floor fa****on, the Felt comes with conventional easy to
service wheels, which aren't slower--except for in the sales
department.
