I have just started my search for my first tri bike and while scanning e-bay I keep coming across a seller who claims to be selling naked Felt B2s. I know in an earlier post someone was asking if Felt offered naked carbon frames and SuperDave said it was against CPSC and several EU policies.
SD’s comments, the fact that the seller is located in Asia and the fact that a number of the frames have sold for between $150 and $200 leads me to believe that they are not legit. However, the seller seems to have great feed back and a number of comments specifically relating to the B2 frames that talk about the quality of the frame.
I am still a few months away from a purchase, but wondered what everyone’s thought were. I am assuming that if it seems too good to be true it is and I should just run the other way. The only thing I can think is that maybe these are factor rejects or just imitations. Otherwise, how could they be going for such a discounted price? Here is a link:
