Apr 29, 2020 at 13:24 comment added Vladimir F Героям слава @AndyP A frame that came with a Claris groupset does not have to be bad at all. There are much fewer frame models than bike models. It is very likely the manufacturer sells the same frame on higher bike models as well. My Claris-based bike was also sold with 105 (and now is with GRX 400) and with 1x Apex. Also with the same wheels. And Claris is not a crap groupset at all, just a bit heavier and fewer speeds, but it works well.
Oct 14, 2019 at 13:24 comment added Andy P A frame that came with Claris components probably isn't worth upgrading. Ride it until it dies, then upgrade to a newer bike - its far more economical. Also, the only thing you NEED from your gears is enough range (difference between highest and lowest) - more cogs are more of a luxury than an upgrade in my eyes.
