I am considering a CR1. Are the frames and forks on the Comp and Team identical? When I compare them, the bikes seem the same except for the wheels and the Ultegra on the Comp and 105 on the Team. Since I will put on my own Easton EC 70 SL wheels, a new stem, bars and saddle, $1,100 seems a lot to spend to get Ultegra over 105. Am I missing something? Thanks
Frames and forks are identical. 2011: The team has a naked carbon gloss red/white finish and the pro has a matte grey/white finish. 2012: The team has a gloss white/black finish and the pro has a matte black/red finish. I got the team and love it. Ultegra and Ksyrium wheels would be nice, but the Aksuim Race/105 set up has treated me quite well. Just did my first 50 mile ride this weekend.

I purchased the team back in April and have just crossed over 3,000 miles. I changed the saddle and wheels but other than that the 105 components are an awesome value. The Aksium Race wheels I sold immediately and offset the cost of my other wheels.
