So I'm going on a small road trip tomorrow to test out a Ridley carbon bike. So we will see how that goes

I have decided against all the bikes I originally looked at, I'm going tomorrow to look at a Ridley fenix cr2. I tested a carbon bike the other day and I loved the way it rode, so I now want a carbon frame. The I have a budget so ultegra is out of the picture, so 105 will do just fine and from what I hear you really can't tell much difference between ultegra and 105. The Ridley is a 10 speed and that will be plenty good for me, I live in flat Florida so I don't need a triple either. So the Ridley has everything I'm looking for in my price range

I'm gonna plotz!

The only thing that is Ultegra on the Bianchi is the rear derailleur and the shifters.
I'd go with the Scott Speedster with the 105s. It's a good looking bike too. |
While at Performance, check out their carbon Scattante with full 6800.

8 or 9 years ago when I was buying a new road bike after having been away from the sport for several decades I asked the helpful shop manager at my LBS what the difference was, and his exact reply was
"Ultegra is very well respected. 105 is respected." Ultegra has come a long way. 105 has come a long, long way. ;) The gap between them has closed---a lot. Especially now with 5800 about to hit the market. But even 5700/6700 wasn't as big a gap as many think. |

odd, but with all the advice the OP never confirmed what bike.

A bike shop in Japan advertises now that they've gotten the 5800 groupset in stock. It should be a sign that we are getting them in the U.S. real soon, if not tomorrow.
