Anybody care to comment on the Shiv Sport? At a MSRP of $2200 it looks like a decent enough entry level bike (if it fits), even though it's an old frame and 10-speed Tiagra. A IA16 and P2 seem to be the logical next step up, but retail for quite a bit more.I have a buddy who just ordered this. His LBS gave him full retail credit from take-off components plus a discount on additional gear in the shop. He used the credit and the discount to apply toward Ultregra cassette, derailurs and shifters. I think all in, he ended up at about $2200 for a "Sport" Shiv with Ultegra components. The color scheme even looks like the "Expert" model.
That's a pretty great deal IMHO.
