Is the frame material of Specialized AWOL Comp and Elite the same? I'm looking at these to bikes:


AWOL Elite
AWOL Comp


From the specs I can't decifer though if the frame material and/or alloy is the same on the two bikes?

I know the frames differ in other ways, but I won't need other drive trains, so I just want to know I can just as well buy the cheaper Elite.
Same frame material. Not sure why it's not more detailed on the Elite specs, but there are several shops marketing it that reference the same frame materials as the Comp, like this one.

Makes sense when you think about it. The Comp and Elite ultimately refer to different component packages (just like those annoying and less meaningful letters that come after car models), though I'm not sure why they don't just call the frame an AWOL!
