Re:

components will be far better than the frame. 501 is fairly low rent, pity its not 531c, 653, 753 or 853.

Don't get a shimano chain. They don't last long and need a special tool to fit. And they have a special pin, so can only ever be fitted once. KMC are better and cheaper.

the 7800 groupset is arguably the finest groupset ever made. Lovely silver and works better than 7900 and later 11 speeds
