BTW most people I have meet in the couple of cycle clubs I have been a member of are very happy with a carbon frame and ultegra geared level bike. Normally you can stick with that and switch out things like saddles and go-fast wheels. You do need to be riding at a very elite level to notice the difference performance wise by purchasing Dura Ace or Specialized S-Works level bike.

I understand that, I live in TX.

Hmmm Tamdem................I guess there is only one boss!

I am not an elite level rider. S-Works is not a consideration. Just joined Randonneurs, so will do some long distance rides this year. Thank you for taking the time to respond. You have given me food for thought.
