Hello,
I just bought a new 2002 model Specialized A1 Allez Elite. This is my first bike and bought it from a local bike shop. I think I got a pretty good deal on it- only $800. I plan on using it for some tri's and just general weekend fun. Do you guys think I got a good deal on this? It seems like most shops have good deals on 2002 models to make way for all the new 2003's.
Here's what it looks like:

Uhhh... yeah... I'd say you got a very good deal... assuming the bike fits.

nice ride, and a good deal :) is your bike the same colors as the one in the pic? I really like yellow and black bikes :D

Thanks for the input. My bike is the yellow and black one from that picture. I went on my first official ride on Sunday (only 30 miles) and it was great. The only bad thing was that I decided to ride during the hottest portion of the day, and in S. Florida that can be excruciating. I attempted to wake up early and go, but it was raining off and on until 11:00- bummer.

Looks sweet! 800 bucks seems like a very good deal for this bike. 105 is a very nice component group.

riding a bumblebee...intresting
Very nice! I have the 105 gruppo too....very smooth. Did that $800 include tax? Nonetheless, I think you got a great deal. Welcome to the addiction.

Sounds like a fanatstic deal to me...I bought the 2002 A1 Sport, with Tiagra/105 mix...at a discounted price of $825 about 5 weeks ago! :cry: Everyone at the time told me it was a great deal...guess I should have checked in Florida...;)
Anyway, after 400+ newbie miles I love it...and am sure you will too! Enjoy... :beer:
