Yup, for the Allez of 10 years ago Comp basically meant a better groupo. In a way sort of appropriate, it gave comp a second meaning , better components.
I guess back then it really did mean better. That said it only meant the Allez Comp was a step up from the Allez, not that it was better than some other bike without "comp" in the name.
