    I have a 2011 model AR4. Changed the groupset from ultegra to dura ace and put some FSA k wing carbon bars on it. Also reynolds wheels, so its not exactly as standard. I love the bike. Its fast and pretty light and also surprisingly comfortable. Mine has standard gearing on it as opposed to a compact set up. I think they all come with this which may put some people off but it suits the type of bike it is.
    This may not be much help to you if it's the new model you're looking at.

    Thanks Noodleman. I test rode it and it felt kinda heavy, of course i'm comparing it to felt f5, cannondale supesix and giant propel advanced
