You're right. I hadn't looked at the Col. You can get 105-equipped road bikes for similar prices, ie. the Trek 2.1, but they're still more expensive, and without in-house parts, MEC has to offer brand-name stuff on their bikes. Everything is from a nice parts-specific brand, which is a nice change from all the Specialized/Bontrager components you see elsewhere.
