Yeah, they buggered about with the components this year. The Elite/Comp/Pro have the same frame this year, with the Elite being 105/Ultegra at around $3900 retail (for BX folk). Comp having Ultegra 10/Dura Ace for about $4800. Pro having full Dura Ace for a whack more again. The 05 Elite, still the good frame, just with a few 105 pieces, so it could be the go if you like the Roubaixes. They all might be a bit dear though still yeah?
Yeah 4k was not what I had intended to spend. But if I throw some more cash at it I can probably get a frame I'll be happy with for longer and I wont be looking for something better right away, thats what I'm worried about. And I'm only 5'7 so I guess I'd be looking at the 52 then...
Maybe the bikeshop would allow me to ditch the composite crank and the Mavics to keep the cost down... we'll see
So is the Roubaix a good ride or what?
Thanks, badsac.
