Does the comp have the same braze-ons that come with the sport?
What about gearing?
While the geometry is the same, the braze-ons and components are not. The sport is geared lower, has less carbon, and a nine speed mixed road/atb drivetrain rather than the 10 speed 105 on the comp.
It's more versatile, reliable, affordable and approachable for a new rider.
