my current road bike frame is a little too big, its a felt f70. a good sized part of me really wants to get one of those bare nashbar road frames and just swap everything and sell the f70 frame
any idea how much a shop would charge for something like that?

Free as DIY or I think shops typically charge around $50 to build up a frame. YMMV.

yeah, i dont know what i'm doing really with brakes and shifting and whatnot, plus i dont have tools for cranks or BBs or headsets
i figure that even if its 120 to swap, that would total 240 for everything, and i imagine i could get 300 for the felt frame (-fork). so i'd actually come out ahead
even if i sold the frame for 240 i'd break even.
