Trek 1.5 https://www.trekbikes.com/us/en/bikes...1_series/1_5/#
Motobecane Sprintour https://www.bikesdirect.com/products/...intour_xii.htm
No idea if i can trust the sprintour but it seems like a good deal.

The one that fits the best. If you dont know exactly what size you want, I would suggest riding one first to see. Otherwise though, unless you are overly concerned with brand names, I would get the Motobecane.

Neither, I'd get this:
https://www.performancebike.com/bikes...87_-1___400306
The Fuji Roubaix 1.0 provides a good frame with new 105.

Looks like the Fuji Roubaix from Performance is only available in a couple of small sizes.
Here are a couple more possibilities:
Full carbon with a complete Tiagra (9 speed) gruppo for $949 + shipping is pretty tempting. Looks like they only have it in sizes 54, 57, and 60 though.

If you don't mind a bike that's a bit heavier, the steel Schwinn with 105 looks like a good deal from Bikes Direct.
