"I'd go for one with Ultegra as well. People say you can upgrade your groupset but if you are on a tight budget this is not realistic anyway, so your better off with good components straight up. And like someone else said, pedals, computer,…"

heather said… Hi Scott,
Welcome to Adelaide Cyclists. You might be interested in joining AC group Commuters and, if you cycle in the city, Adelaide BUG.
A current discussion on Adelaide BUG of What cycling facilities would you like at http://www.adelaidecyclists.com/group/adelaidebug/forum/topics/what-cycling-facilites-would-you-like
I coordinate four AC groups with emphasis on improving cycling conditions: Adelaide BUG, Prospect BUG, Look For Cyclists and Vote For Cyclists. There is more info in the introduction on each group web page.
Cheers, Heather
