Felt makes terrific frames and are best known for their work with aluminum. What kind of frame - steel, alu, carbon, or other are you looking for? Do you have a price or budget in mind?

something like a s25 or f45 frame, can not decide between a tri bike or a road bike, tri bikes look very cool

Shouldn't be that hard of a decision. If you aren't doing triathlons, get a road bike. If you think you might eventually do triathlons, still get a road bike and worry about getting a tri-specific bike once you've done a few.

Road bikes aren't built the same way as tri bikes because the intended use isn't the same.

Tri Bikes are a bike of a strange geometry. If you want a bike that looks cool, keep looking at them.

If you don't understand it, a tri bike may not be as cool as you think.
