Speaking to the LBS guy today, they'll let me have it for 900$ (the Comp). The '07 base model is an improved frame. The '07 Comp is the same frame from last year. I am expecting that I am going to need to add that front brake and shoren the gearing at first since I haven't raced competitively in over 10 years. In fact I've probably only done 100 miles in the past 10 years since my injury... but I'm just riding my recent craze (sold my car & motorcycles and started commuting to work on the train and bike YEAH!!!).

I have second thoughts whether or not this is even he right kind of bike for me. I want to get back into shape and I just want something fun to ride.
