I've read many a post in the road forum that espouses the quality of sora and tiagra components. Check your LBS, find every bike that is equipped with said components, and then empty your wallet - you CAN'T go wrong

you forgot:internal 3 speed hub w/
electricity generator for your head light
high flanges
ceramic bearings
coaster brake
dimples.
rim must not be machined for brakes,
use veloplugs instead of rim tape,
tubular and clincher compatible
all stickers removed and replaced with those cool holographic stickers
velocity's eggplant color
dimples.
