Hi all,
First time poster but a loooong time reader. I'm always on this forum whenever I have need to look up a question or just looking for bike porn. Unfortunately, my road bike was stolen and I'm in the market for a new one. I had an Aerocat R505 (

1. 2011 Fuji sst 2.0 I would just buy this bike stock, straight from the LBS.

2. 2009 Jamis Xenith SL. They have one of these at the bike shop for a deal. I would buy the frameset and then probably spec with force and 3t components. (No way can I afford red and zipps)

3. 2011 Aerocat R509. Again, I'd get a pretty good deal on the frame and could go pretty crazy with components and groupset. Just not sure if better components or a better frame is more valuable.

Thanks for any help!
