Rob Gottlieb Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 Hi All,Looking at buying my first fully carbon frame but cant afford the big fancy onese So have come down to the following two options which I need advice with please: Option 1 = 2012 Felt F5 - 105Option 2 = 2011 Cannondale Supersix 5 The main thing I note is that the Felt seems to have better components being 105 all round including brakes where the Cannondale has mainly 105 but not everything includig brakes and other few things.Price difference is around R1000 so no big deal. I cannot make a decision and need help. To me the felt looks better but ive been told the frame on the cannondale is excellent.
Cav' Posted June 14, 2012 Posted June 14, 2012 I saw the cannondale last weekend and its an awesome bike - very purdy
SeaBee Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 I'm the wrong guy to ask.... Will give you a very biased answer without having been on either of those specific bikes.
CAAD4 Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 I have never Felt the need to ride anything else on the road other than a Cannondale.. I hope that helps..
Agteros Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 If I could, my next bike will have a 'dale frame. No technical justification for that though. Just like my next car won't be a Beemer.
Metzet Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 I ride a Felt F4 and a Felt TT bike.. very happy with them. don't think there is too much difference between the two, wrt frame stiffness and weight but Felt is usually better spec'd and a good price.. the reason I have 2 ! test ride both if you can.. my 2c..
Iwan Kemp Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 F5 has the same frame as the F4,F3 & F2. Great bike. I'd go with the newer Felt with full 105.
Rob Gottlieb Posted June 15, 2012 Author Posted June 15, 2012 You guys are making this very hard on me
428 others Posted June 15, 2012 Posted June 15, 2012 Later, when you upgrade the components, you'll still have a better frame with the 'Dale...
