I'm now on bike number 2. I purchased a Specialized Allez road bike. It only comes in a flat blue color which I'm not thrilled about, but I really like Specialized products. Will be picked up on Friday when I drop my Diamondback MTB off for some maintenance. I currently use my DB for commuting with a pair of slicks. I'm thinking I'll alternate the 2 for commuting so that each ride will give me a different type of work out. I'll use the Specialized for my longer ride just ride outings. I'm getting it pretty much stock with the exception of Shimano SPD pedals since I have them on my MTB. I'm really excited about this bike. I guess I'm now considered an avid biker since I have 2 bikes that fit into most riding styles.

nice i just bought an Allez comp frame and built it up all ultegra. First long ride this past weekend. It's very fast and responsive and light. I'm pretty happy with it.
looks like this
