SOLD Felt FR2 Disc frame and fork, size 51

For sale this Felt FR2 frame and fork + headset bits. It's a 2018 model year frame, but I've owned it from new (as a complete bike) for exactly one year and 6,000 km. I loved it so much I decided to cough up on an identical but lighter FR FRD frame when I saw one on a good deal (for reference, the FRD frameset was just under 200g lighter, but exact same geo etc), which has now become Felt II. You will get this frameset in the FRD frame box, so no kidding here.

This "second tier" frame still comes in at a very respectable 950g for the frame and 390g for the fork, which I prudently didn't cut, so it will take all of 20mm spacers (10+5+5) on top of the tall (15mm) headset cover & cup. All the headset bits (FSA No.44E for reference) are included + I left the hydraulic hoses in, you will have enough length for a 100mm stem at full spacer stack height (or just use to re-route new hoses and bin them). BB is not included, but it's a 386evo frame, so you have options to run a 30mm spindle for light weight, or run a Shimano / 24mm spindle with oversized bearings for a superlatively stiff BB if you like to climb like Contador.

Please, note this is a Di2/electronic-specific frame: the cable port on the head tube will accommodate only one brake hose and one wire or cable housing. Gear cables for a mechanical groupset will need to be run externally (the frame has mounts for cable guides under the down tube, mounting kit also supplied). Unfortunately, I completely forgot about it when taking photos, and now the bike is packed for shipping. I can take pictures of how the cable port looks on the new frame which is identical in this regard.

It builds into a fantastic lightweight climbing bike, really stiff with a geo that is not too racy (if you don't run it with a 130mm stem like I did, of course). Felt, who know a thing or two about aero with their experience in triathlon frames, threw aero out of the window to create a lightweight bike with lovely handling and superb stiffness. I know aero is the hot thing, but nothing compares to the fun of riding a lightweight bike that doesn't bend like a noodle. Felt use TeXtreme spread tow carbon fiber as the innermost and outermost layer in their frames, that's the material you see in Formula 1 and other super-high-end applications, but no other bike manufacturer does. This is what you see as checkerboard pattern under the clearcoat, and that's where the light weight and stiffness come from.

My FR2 bike was 7.5 kg all in (as pictured in the album), built with UDi2 and heavyish aero wheels. It was my best & "fair weather" bike, well looked after, never (intentionally) ridden in the wet, never crashed etc. There are some cosmetic defects where you expect them (stone strikes + an unfortunately dropped chain, but you can't see those marks behind the chainset), I've included photos of all I can see in the album. The only repair it required was the lower headset bearing getting replaced.

I am looking to get 850 quid, but let me know if I am being too greedy. The frame is in London if you want to collect; I will post at cost to anywhere in mainland UK, and we can discuss suitable carrier & insurance arrangements.
