I was toying with the idea of building up fm098 from velobuild in the spring, I was then having a chat with a friend of mind about it and he offered me a 2008 felt f1 for a similar price. He isn't the first owner of the felt so cannot entirely vouch for its history, it looks good though.

Any thought on the matter.

Thanks

    Depending on condition - the Felt - no brainer! You may not know the full history but then you don't know the manufacturing controls behind the Chinese frame.

    That is what I was leaning towards. Think i'll head over to his at the weekend and have a close inspection.
