Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Are you looking for the top-of-the-line, or are you interested in the components that fit your needs?
The top doesn't always translate to appropriate performance.

You do realize a bottom of the line piece works almost just as well as the top of the line piece...
