Absolutely, they are different. The 105 bike is the 2013 frame with external cable routing. I know that internal routing and Di2 shifting is the rage but I opted for a bike that is much easier for me to maintain, change cables on, etc. (ask any bike mechanic what they really think about internal cabling and electronic shifting). Fewer parts, no electronics and I really like the look of the silver frame.
