    When I bought my Trek bike from my LBS, they did a couple of upgrades for the difference in the cost of the parts. It had to be done at the time of ordering, though, because they could then sell the parts they had taken off as new.

    Iv got the trek 1.5, Bike looks good standerd! (imo).

    I,d wait and upgrade to better groupset and wheels than spend money on minor changes.
    I have however orderd a white seat and white bartape For my bike For better comfort and because I want to change the position of my brake and gear levers.

    a lot of shops will upgrade the wheels at time of ordering but...

    expect to pay full retail on the new wheels minus a small allowance to trade in the (usually) OEM only and (usually) rubbish std wheels which the shop will struggle to sell on.

    i;d get the bike and then start looking for a nice upgraded wheelset -= try and recoup some mney on the std ones through ebay or the like
