Felt F70 or Giant OCR any commesnts?

[brown.be]

I am looking at the Felt F70 vs. the Giant OCR 1 close in price is one better than the other?

One vote cast for the Felt F70 -- rode one, and an F60, when my wife was recently looking for a new ride. Thought it was a very good value, well build, and had a great ride. (Most important to her - it was pretty.)

How much didit run you. I am trying to figure out what I will realistically need to pay.

She ended up with a Specialized Roubaix, another cool option if you're interested in a frame the has a comfortable feel/geometry. Her price range was 1k to 1200, think the F70 fell on the lower end and F60 upper.

i was looking into felt's when i bought my airborne but found out they have had some issues with frames... i would def. go with a giant...well respected and more reliable..give felt a few yrs to get all the bugs out

Check this out. Doesn't exactly generate a ton of confidence in Giant.

Huh? Felt has an excellent reputation, and is an up-and-coming bike manufacturer, as far as I've heard. Where's the info on "issues with frames" coming from???

I own a Felt, and recomend them to my friends, however yesterday I saw the new 2005 Giant OCR Zero, man, what a bike!!!
