The bike i've been looking at has a "105 group" with the tecktro brakes, Shimano FC-R565 crank (supposed to be "a hybrid between Tiagra and 105"), and a SRAM chain. 105 levers and derailleurs.
Also has Aksium race wheelset, instead of the CXP22 alot of the other bikes in this price range have. I know its not a huge upgrade on the wheels, but it is something.
I've looked at alot of things, and alot of bikes, and for my budget, this mix seems to be the best around, Tecktro brakes and all.
