**Links don't seem to work here are both:

I'd love to get some opinions.. And its not an actual trade. I would be selling mine for the same price, and already have a few interested buyers.

Looks pretty decent. I didn't even know F5 made frames though, so I have no idea if they're any good. Also, if it's gonna see street use, I'd say get something that you can put a brake on.

Ya... For sure even if I only use it 1% of the time I need the brake just in case.
