"Without a doubt, the Edict was the fastest, most-efficient, mountain-flattening bike in our test. Exactly what you're looking for when courting XC race bikes."

With just over a year under its wheels, this Felt Edict Nine 1 XC/Marathon frame is in great used condition. Somehow, Felt has managed to make a super-efficient but still fun-to-ride bike in their Edict series and this bike is fast enough to slay it on short races but confidence-inspiring enough for NMES or 24-hour racing. It has 100mm rear wheel travel and can be built up with either a 100 or 120mm fork (tapered steerer tube). It takes a 30.9 seatpost and threaded (hooray!) bottom bracket. Full cable housing keeps the gunk out. The frame has the expected cable rub and a couple of paint chips (none through to the carbon- the worst two are shown). But just try finding a carbon Cannondale Scalpel or Trek Supercalber FS, Ibis Ripley, or Santa Cruz Tallboy for similar money.
