Is it worth it (Tiagra to 105's)?
I've searched the topic but didn't find anything I thought was conclusive. I have a Specialized Allez Sport with basically Tiagra components and a Specialized crankset. I love the feel of the frame, have noticed some decent deals on the 105 components that I think might be worth the money. I have no intentions of ever selling this bike, but may purchase another, lighter, more "bling" next year if my riding progresses like I hope. The Allez would then be my second bike.
My ultimate objectives in the upgrade is reliablity on functionality. My motor is still a work in progress, so I could care less of weight savings.
Would the $300 for the 105 front der., 105 shifters, 105 crankset, and 105 brakes be worth it in your opinions?
Thanks in advance!
