John Degenkolb’s 2012 Felt
24-year old German sprinter John Degenkolb of Team Argos-Shimano took 5 stages of the 2012 Vuelta a España on his F series Felt and we took a closer look at that slammed winning road bike.
This Felt looks very fast even if just leaning against a fence.

No surprise really that there are Shimano components through and through on an Argos-Shimano team bike.
