A friend is looking to get himself a ss biek and trying to decide between the two

Felt

Plug

I've no experience of either of these bikes, I've not heard many bad things said about plug but never really heard much feedback on the felts

Your thoughts?

    I was tempted by a Plug when they did the chrome limited edition. However, check out the weight of it. For a SS bike it weights a ton!

    Darn it Pun,

    Saw that link to the Brougham and thought £300? Perfect for Mrs AH, convinced myself to treat the current good lady wife and logged onto Wiggle with the trusty plastic in hand to find that they are sold out of the smaller sizes.

    I have a plug freestyler. I love it, but the front end is quite heavy.

    Oh damn damn damn Pun,

    You just cost me £349 for a 2010 Felt Curbside from Wiggle.

    I had better be in for some world class nookie from the good lady wife in a few days. :lol:

    By the way, anyone want a natty green top tube protector? 'Cos that's going STRAIGHT in the bin.

    Yeah, I wish I hadn't seen that! I'm tempted by the Plug. I wouldn't buy one for £500, but for £300...
