    Looking for a good alloy road frame.
    Don't need a fork or seatpost.
    Lighter the better.

    I'm 6,1", so I'm guessing about a 55cm frame size.

    No offence but I doubt a 55 would fit you. I'm same height and ride a 57.

    True.
    I do know that a 55cm Lapierre fits me perfectly.

    I do think that you are right with other brands.
    Bianchi for example, definitely a 57cn.

    Now that's a pretty looking frame,
    I'm unfamiliar with Felt's sizing though.
    would a 58 be suitable for me.
    I'm a touch over six foot.

    Looks like it will be perfect. Check out the sizing on there site. It's under the F category. http://2012.feltracing.com/USA/Single-Nav/Inside-Felt/Support/Bike-Sizing.aspx

    Have a look at my ad for the 56 S Works frame. All you need is a set of wheels, a groupset and saddle. If you are putting Campy on it, I can even leave the cups on it.

    The headset is brand new as are the forks. Stems and bars also included as well as clamp and seat post.

    I am just over 6'1, so this should be a pretty much perfect frame for you.
