This is what I ended up with. It's a Scott Speedster S5, BUT all the frames throughout the line are the same. The S1 frame is the same as the S6. Just the components are different. I transferred my Ultegra stuff over to the frame with some Open Pro/Ultegra wheels and viola - one very solid bike build. I've put a couple thousand miles on since then. The frame is WICKED STIFF - its also a bit twitchy. But overall I like it a lot.
