Sorry Mimi.. my bad phrasing..

What he meant was that the heart of the bike is the frame so if you think you're going to grow into the sport get a frame with decent components that you can upgrade later.

For instance, the TCR C3 is the bottom end of the series. At the top, they have Dura Ace with fancier Mavic wheels, etc going for like 4k.

The Vigorelli is simply the Eros' frame with Ultegra components and nicer wheels.

I dunno.. conflicted ... just when I thought I had made a decision Well at least I've narrowed it down to like 2-3 bikes rather than having the whole pantheon open to me.
