When I decided I wanted my first road bike, I was a huge Lemond fan. Also a pretty big fan of the Motorola team. I saw that they were on the new Dura-Ace with STI shifters. I went to THE bike shop in New Haven, CT to buy one. The guy asked me what category I am in. I was like "what". He wanted to see my USCF license before he'd sell me a bike w DA parts. He said he'd sell me a bike with 105. I was like later dude, and had the shop in my home town order one. The guy in New Haven had the bike I wanted in the size I wanted and wouldn't sell it to me.
I wasn't mad or anything, the guy can do what he wants. So can I.
edit: when I think back on this, it wasn't my first road bike, it was my first new one, I had been riding an old red Bianchi w 6 spd friction Campy
