Is there a huge difference between 105 and tiagra?
Is it something I would have to replace earlier on down the road where the 105 would last longer?

Realistically with me being back at work my average monthly miles will probably drop to 250 or less. And I would like something that will last atleast a year before I even have to utter the word bike shop or parts.
I would settle for Tiagra. Good gruppo. 105 is not worth twice the money.
