I rode the Nirve Switch for about 3 years, i believe that frame is the same as the felt MR. If this new frame has the same strength as the switch it will be worth it. I put that thing through some punishment. I was first starting out so it took some hard hits, and i also rode it at the skate park almost daily. This frame finally cracked on the rear end, although it was still ridable i got a different frame. From Experience i've liked Felt in the past, i hope this frame gives the same quality.
