Why don't we ever hear about Felt bikes?

Their own website doesn't mention Michael, Seppl, or flatland at all.  Is it only in their country?

Very good question. Sometimes I wonder what those "secret companies" think how to sell their products. Felt is not doing any advertising for years (at least it seems like). I am not sure if the frame is available at all. Sad story. I am happy about every company supporting flatland, but if they do it like this they will be out of the business soon. Even more sad is that it seems like the companies are not even bothered by that because flatland is about 3 % of their business if not less...
