Cheapest and best felt frames
 
does anyone know of a place i can buy a legit aluminum FELT road bike frame that is tuff , im scared to buy a full carbon bike frame because if it cracks im going to explode , my cities roads are not always smooth and i do beat on my bike a little bit , i ride every day and i really like the look and the name owning a felt , to me , is kind of like the Ferrari of bikes , any thoughts or suggestions , on an affordable felt bike , im looking for a frame , maybe to save some dollars

i have seen some on craigslist under 600$ i think thats a good price , compared to brand new at 4, 000$$$ yikes , i have decent 750 tires and some parts i dont care if i put 10 dollar shifters on it im going more for the frame and ride angle, because they seem fast , i really dont want a diamond back definitely not a schwinn ,uuuuhg , again i do like that name and quality , im sure i could just slap a felt sticker on a roadmaster lol , but any suggs will be appreciated

If you can find a 2015 in your size it might not be a lot over $600 for the bike not just the frame as the 2016s are already out.

And yet you want the cheapest "Ferrari of bikes." Can't quite figure that one out.

My advice to you: Aim higher.

Technically, Colnago V1-R is the Ferrari of bikes, since it's actually made in cooperation with Ferrari.

Also, I don't think you have to worry about carbon cracking and failing from normal everyday use. I have over 4k on mine so far this year and it hasn't exploded yet.

Full carbon 2015 Felt Z5 here and I am loving it. No issues at all with the carbon and I commute and do longer road rides with it.

As far as it being the Ferrari of bikes, uh, no. Felt makes a really good product and for the money, is often hard to beat. As it being compared to a Ferrari, there is nothing to compare.
