Pretty sure they listed at $1900 +. I've seen them for $1599 in Seattle. I rode one and liked a couple of 1900+ bikes better but for $1300 . . . that's seems like a really good deal.

Free FRAME! thats basically what that means 
Da itself is like 1400 I think. I'd say if the glove (bike in this case) fits go for it!

i have an f70 and it is an awesome bike. The same frame with Dura Ace, et al. would be an incredible bike. For $1300???? Grab it up quick, as long as it fits right!!!

I'm not even sure why you would put DA on a F70. Costs more than the bike complete.

Just got back from a bike shop here in San Diego. Saw the felt f55 for $1799 w/American Classics & DA (pedals included). That's a sweet deal, plus they have a 12month no interest action - cha-ching!
Pokerguy, let me know if you find it cheaper.
Thanks!

This probably doesn't help much but since I've been doing a ton of research on Felts recently I found this store in Michigan which is having a great sale on now. www.bikesportmichigan.com

I just got a felt f-55 from www.bikesale.com out of seattle, bothell ski and bike which i have had a wonderful experience with considering i am in new york. I got it from them for 1699 and that was the best i could find anywhere. my local shops couldnt touch that deal. Shipping costs less than tax too. An f-55 at 1300, thats puro - you can't lose money, no way. Felt is making some freakin kick ass bikes at insane values. By the way it comes with either the easton/velomax vista sl's which retail for about $300 or the American Classic 420's which retail for close to $800 because they ran short of eastons. The 420's are selling on ebay for $500 without tires or anything, just built rim.

Look how much Dura Ace you're getting - although I think they cheaped out on the crankset, the FSA MegaEXO version of that same crank (same idea as ultegra/dura ace hollowtech) external BB should only cost $50-100 more.
