Hello

- I have a 2013 Shimano 105 5700 groupset (exc cRANKSET).
- I want to buy a Felt F55 2008 Frameset.

1. Will my Groupset work on this frame?
2. Is there any pitfalls here i need to watch out for?
3. What do you think of my frame choice?

Thanks in Advance!

    1. Yes

    2. The only thing i can see is front derailleur compatibilty. What type is your current one,braze-on or band-on clamp ? The F55 looks to need a band-on clamp.

    If yours is a braze-on then you need an adapter (If one doesn't come with the frame). If its a band-on clamp and is a different size you may need some spacers or your current clamp might be too small in diameter meaning you need a new front derailleur.

    3. I've never ridden a Felt but they are well regarded and quite popular in the US.
