BTW, 05 specialized wont be here until December.

(And Thylacine, yeah I really would like to go for one of your bikes. But I don't think I'm the right person to do a bike with you at the minute. I just don't know enough and am to far away. Sorry.)
That sounds reasonable to me. A guy in a shop told me the Comp and Pro (?) are the same frames but with a different finish (one gloss, one not). You'd be lucky to get that frame frame for anywhere near $2000, so, stick everything on top of that, and it sounds ok to me.

It has Ultegra, right? And I forgotten what wheels.
