Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Focus cayo al. Tiagra or 105?

Hey guys. Another advice thread! Hah, I wanna thank you guys in advance. So I'm in the market to purchase a Focus Cayo Al. Im having a hard time deciding between Tiagra($1400 CAD) or 105($1700 CAD). Im reading good things about new Tiagra but I wouldnt mind 105 and dont mind spending the extra cash.

105 because its compatible with stuff you might want to upgrade to (11speed based), and the cranks are better looking

I'd go with the 105's as well. The difference in cost if you purchased the groupsets new and separately isn't $300, but you're likely getting better components elsewhere too--wheels, perhaps.
