I've never ridden a Focus bike, none of the shops in my area stock them. However, if I were shopping for a bike right now I would have no issue getting one of the Focus bikes. I would go for the red one with Ultegra for myself though. If you have funding and know your size, just get it. You may end up swapping out the wheels but many people do that. You will be hard pressed to find any new bike in any bike shop with a 105 group close to that price.
