I got the base model Pocket Pilot and upgraded the components myself. I went with Ultegra all the way around. I did it much cheaper than ordering a Pocketpilot withan upgraded groupo from the factory.
For example the stock Pocket Pilot was $1000.00 (and I will say rode perfect out of the box). The upgraded 105 groupo is 1850. That is $850 upgrade price. I went one step above the 105 group for far cheaper. Around 350 got me everything with the exception of shifters, I left the bar end shifters on so my point is do some homework on the upgrades. If you do not want to mess with it then go with the better components but if you are inclined to do so then check some prices for components and do it yourself.
Here are some examples
Cranks Ultegra 53-39 $80, BB $40, chain SRAM $35.
If you are like me then you will use your new bike a lot more than a few times per year. You will see
