Overview of components
Fork material
The fork is made out of aluminum, which is a lighter material. However, it is not as tough, nor durable as steel is.
Wheels size
The Cafe 8 Deluxe W 2009 bike is equipped with 700c aluminum wheels when leaving the factory. These are the most popular wheels for road, aero, gravel, cyclocross, race, and gravel bikes. However, while they give you great speed and control, these wheels are not so bump-friendly.
Brakes
For your safety, it is important to have quality breaks on your bike. Felt Cafe 8 Deluxe W has Rim brakes installed. Slightly lighter than hydraulic brakes, rim brakes are a budget choice. However, you could spend a little extra and get a bike that has hydraulic brakes.
Sizes
This bike has one size only, so it might not fit you. In short, make sure you double-check if it fits you.
