For the past three years I have wanted a Cervelo S2. To me, they are the sleekest and best bikes in the world while not spending over 4000 bucks. Still, $4000 is so much more money then I can scrape together seeing as I am 15. I currently have a 2009 Jamis Ventura Comp. and the S2 is a huge step up. But, my question is since the frameset itself of the S2 is about 900 bucks cheaper then the whole bike, theoretically how hard would it be to put all of my current components on the new frameset or how expensive would it be to have a mechanic at a store do that?
It's dead simple to do it on your own. There are websites that offer tutorials on every aspect of the assembly. To pay a mechanic will likely cost on the order of $150, give or take some....or a lot.
It would cost more to put it together than it would to buy the bike. The Shimano Ultegra group would cost more than $900 and you still need wheels, bars, stem, ect.
I would just buy the complete bike still. [FONT=Times New Roman]There is no guaranty that all the parts will transfer, bottom bracket, seat post, stem.[/FONT]

The Cervelo S2 comes with a proprietary seatpost. The stem on the Jamis will fit the fork steerer on the S2. The BB specs are the same between the two bikes.
