Wiggle have felt f5 £1650 down to £990

Tbh still more than I'm looking at the moment, but anyone any experience with these

I do like the cube agree gtc/ pro
Also considered 53cm cube being better suited for me at 5ft8 with a shorter upper body over the 56cm frame. But the felt don't have the same size, anyone experience frame sizes on felt vs cube

    56 is waaaay too big for you. In the Felt you're probably a 51 and a 53 in the Cube. I'd go with the Felt as the bikes are very comparable in spec and I see no reason to pay the extra 400 quid.

    The felt is the better frame, imo

    Bear in mind that the Felt F series bikes have a more 'stretched' position due to the horizontal top tube, so even in equivalent sizes the Felt might seem to be 'bigger' Best try them for size if you can.

    I agree with Grill with his recommendation of the 53 Cube though, I'm 5'10" and a 56 is perfect (it's effectively a 54 ).

    Looks excellent VFM with a very good frame 8)

    I'm 182cm tall with a 85 cm inside leg. Would the 56cm (as recommended in sizing guide) be ok :?:

    Thanks for replies

    I still prefer the cube agree gtc range

    The felt sizes are different again and cube would b better

    I've found a 2012 cube agree gtc pro who would price match

    Has anyone seen this advertised elsewhere being discounted which I can use to match against?

    Thanks I've trawled through many pages with no luck so thought I'll ask here

    Sometimes the smaller bike shops don't come up on searches or some update on face book pages etc.
