Where can I find the cheapest bike with 105 or 105-Ultegra components. I don't care what it comes on. I've got a frame that needs to be built up.

Also where's the best deal on some black semi-aero (deep-er dish?) wheels with a 32 hole pattern?

Thanks

Your best bet, if you already have a frame, might be to just buy a build kit that includes wheels like the ones here: http://www.gvhbikes.com. A 105 kit with wheels is $825. Buying a whole bike may be right at that same price, but in that price range, many of them will have made decisions to substitute other parts, which you may or may not want.

For example, Bikes Direct http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/road_bikes.htm, has many 105-equipped complete bikes for $795 with free shipping, but they'll typically be equipped with non-Shimano cranksets and hubs. Although you may like the Ritchey semi-aero wheels they include with some ot them. Anyway, there's a couple of places to check out.
