Add Felt Bikes to the growing list of bike companies to put out a 24″ bike for trails, street and park riding. The Felt Brink is a good addition to their lineup as it provides an alternative to their pure-race Sector 24.
Unfortunately, despite how stoked I am to see another bike company jump onto the new school 24″ bandwagon I’m little disappointed in how it’s spec’d out. The frame is only main frame cr-mo (top tube and down tube), the bars hi-ten and the price kinda high. A bike like the Mirraco 20forty is spec’d a whole lot better for nearly the same price.
Hopefully they’re just testing the waters for ’09 and will step things up next year…otherwise why bother if you’re not going to put out a full cr-mo frame…it doesn’t seem to make sense to have a steel backend for trails, street and park riding…..
Bonus info: if you write into Felt with a question about their product line you have a very good chance of getting a response from Brian Foster’s older brother, Alan. Remember him? One half of Schwinn/Airwalk’s one-two race punch in the 90s.
