Yes. The FX bikes have a slightly longer TTL steeper HT angles and longer HT lengths but otherwise the differences are small. These can be adjusted for in many cases with a new stem or with a HT extension. I have no problem saying a new bike may better suit the needs in question, but a much smaller cash outlay may fix most of the issue. I guess you could say stem/etc are not components, then I'd agree with you.
