Velobamina,

Looks like you got a deal with the 2005 model. I just checked out abvnx's link and it looks like the Comp comes with 105 and the Elite comes with Tiagra. No Ultegra or Dura Ace for the Dolce's in 2007.

I got my Dolces the year before they introduced the Ruby. After that, I suppose they considered the Ruby their higher-end WSD model and went "cheap" on the Dolces! Hopefully, the price reflects the downgrade in components. Definitely, go for the Comp w/the 105.

I had the 05 Dolce Comp and absolutely loved it as I have mentioned in other posts. This year I upgraded to the Ruby Pro (dh surpised me) mainly for the smoother ride that Carbon gives and the upgrade in all Dure Ace components makes for a real sweet riding bike. I have no issues at all with the gearing.
