Bikes: 2016 Diverge Expert

I did notice the price difference, and was a little surprised they have the other DSW model that retails for $1500, very reasonable. Almost to the point where they would be the bike to buy, and do a few mods, but I prefer to buy one loaded and not worry about changing things out. Also being 5'8ish, I hear the sizing is odd on the Diverge, am I a 54 or 56?
The red Comp DSW is also very nice. It has a lot of depth to the finish like a multi-layer paint job. Yea I'm not sure if there's $900 in Tigra to 105, mechanical to hydraulic brakes, tires and seatpost. I'm also not fond of changing out the components when it's still new. The only reason would be if you particularly like one of the Elite DSW paint schemes.

I am 5'11 and fit correctly on a 56. Like San Pedro said I would guess 52 or 54.

Btw, if you're looking at the Comp DSW be aware that from March 1-21 the Comp Carbon is on sale from Specialized, from 3200 to 2700. For $300 you'd get a carbon frame, much better crankset and CG-R seatpost. It'd be hard (impossible) to justify the DSW at 2400 with the Comp Carbon at that price.
