Frame options
 

I have been searching for a good deal on a frame, and just missed out on an SL2 tarmac. However I really need to put a rap on the purchase of a new frame, I could buy a felt FA or FC frameset for a great deal but they seem like relatively low level bikes and the sram red group I have deserves a better home. IDK what to do. Im about 61cm frame which is hard to come by. Does anyone have any opinions or wisdom to share. I have 1400 but would really rather get a good deal for about half of that or so, but Im keeping an open mind. Thanks in advance. Any insight on those felt frames would be appreciated, the fa is 675 and the FC is 820.

You could likely find a nice used Cannondale in your size, and well wihin your price range. What kind of riding are you planning to do? Long-distance? Racing? Leisurely strolls down the mup?

I had the same budget and had been looking at the same frameset last year. My buddy got the SL2 and I got the Scott CR-1. I've been on the tarmac. Great bike. CR-1 is a great bike, a great deal and similar in geometry. Everyone who rides it says that they are suprised at the ride quality.

Good luck looking, shopping is fun.

Yeah Im looking for it to be a race/training bike and I do like the cr-1. I do however want something with racing geometry as I cant have two bikes.
