Had my eye on this for a while and it is now down to the cheapest it has been, what do you think? Where else could i get Shimano 105 for this price range?

Not full 105 but I'm nit picking. Great bike (especially the frame) at a great price. Have some heat.
Brakes, chain, chainset. Still a good deal though in my opinion

Wow they look great although I dont think I stomach the light blue. Where do these groupsets sit/compare to the 105?

Apex is 4th tier groupset from Sram.
I'm using a mixture of Apex/Rival/Force across two bikes (one is complete Force groupset), and have current 105 on another bike. I've had Sram shifters fail, no failures with Shimano kit in recent years.
Personally at this price bracket I'd go with the Giant.

It was the Campagnolo athena I was comparing when reading a review on bikerader. Turns out its Campagnolo Veloce on this... Still seems better to full carbon? I'm a commuter who likes to do the odd 50miles+ here and there, so I'm jot racing anyone.
