Fit is everything if you plan to go on long "century" type rides
Bikes with race geos are not inherently faster than bikes with more upright geos
Carbon is not faster than steel, or aluminum
One groupo is not faster than another, it's all about the engine on top
Rider position, i.e low flat. and punching a smaller hole through the air is the difference

If you are keen, flexible,and don't mind a bit of toe overlap, a race fit is great
However, tweaking a race bike into an upright style bike is not the best route, they look goofy and are not meant to work that way
Focus on fit, saddle, bars, shoes
The latest 105 groupo is great !
