upgrading tiagra

hi, im looking at a giant ocr composite frame bike but the only one i can afford is the tiagra model.

is it possible to upgrade some of the tiagra components later on with 105/ultegra??
perhaps the shifters or derailuers if possible but tiagra is 9 speed and 105/ultegra 10 speed, so are they compatible??

there's plenty of cheap shimano stuff on ebay i could buy for upgrading.

thanks.

To upgrade from 9sp. to 10sp., you'll need a new chain, cassette, as well as a left brifter.

While you are at it you should also get a Kish custom Ti frame. :beer:

No, go to BD (www.bikesdirect.com) and get yourself a Motobecane :)
