FELT FIT WOMAN KIT
The Fit Woman kit was the brainchild of one of our female managers who decided, as a rider of matte black bikes for over ten years herself; that women
of a certain height should not be restricted to a choice of only a couple of colors that are so often stereotypical to the perception of what women want. She
commented that the necessity of a baby blue or soft pink bicycle in a line-up was a figment of a male-dominated imagination and that we should instead develop
a kit that would enable a Felt dealer to fit any shape or size to any of our bicycles, thus allowing her to pick a model from the entire range of Felt bicycles. So, we
asked her to put her money where her mouth was, and she came up with the perfect solution to a source of frustration to many of her contemporaries.
We have taken our regular Felt seatpost but removed the 30mm setback in favor of a straight post to put our lady riders nearer to the cranks. We have
shortened our handlebar stem to 80mm with a small positive rise to reduce the cockpit of any size frame, and fabricated a narrower, women specific handlebar
with a shallower distance between the brake hood and the drops to accommodate slender shoulders and a shorter reach.
