Everyone that had Felts previous seasons seemed to like them. Redlines are another great choice for beginner or expert.

If you want to build up a bike using some stuff already have you cannot beat the Redline Conquest Pro frame. If you are going to buy a complete bike, the Felts give a great ride and spec for the price. I have also used Raleighs cross bike and it is worth looking at. Raleigh is the only company to use an Easton cross fork in the entry level price ranges.

The most important thing is fit. A good fit will matter more that what frame you ride and what parts are on it. A bike that is too big or small is never a good deal no matter what the price is. Look for something that is about 1-2cm shorter in length than what you are use too on a road bike.

okay

Pmckenna,

Thanks for the input. I am really looking into a frame. I have some parts, but I would like to build something from the ground up. Your info has been helpful.
