I'd go for the frame over the components, because you'd have to expect the frame to last longer.

I agree with you. -
I say go with the Felt. Aluminum is more likely to last a longer time, and the components are far better. Not to mention it is 200 dollars less.
But thats just my humble opinion, and I am pretty new so. -
You have a good point, but Aluminium has a shorter fatigue life ( Five Years) and I can always upgrade the componetry on the scott which has a nice carbon frame.

Well, I don't really know a lot yet, but why not just go for the Felt F2C? It has the features (mostly or all DuraAce I think) and the carbon frame. If it was anywhere near my budget, that's what I would get.

Good god, who told you that nonsense? The lack of a fatigue strength limit in aluminum is nothing more than a design constraint.

And what do you suppose the fatigue life on a 2lb carbon frame is?
