Clydesdales/Athenas (200+ lb / 91+ kg) - New road bike!

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
I have been trying to get my Mtb fixed for a while and I have some issues going on w/ that (another story). So I decided that buying a decent roadie was the best option for me. I finally purchase and old steel framed Specialized Allez. I drop a post in the classic bike forum to see if I can get any info on it. http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=334807
I searched the web for bit and discovered that it was designed by Jim Mertz, a famous frame builder. It has Shimano 600 components and a adjustable rear dropout. It is an '89 Allez SE. Nice blue color. The previous owner stated that it had been ridden little. I will post pics when it arrives.
Sounds like a nice find. ENJOY !

Dang I'm jelous!
The link only brought me to a new window that displayed what this window did but I will look forward to your pics.
I only have one ride, a real ark! :)
I'm looking forward to a road bike this spring, there are just so many, I haven't decided. The Trek's are more affordable but the Surly's are just so 'dreamy' for me...I really like the Cross-Check...
A separate savings account is in action now! :)

Great! That's a quality bike that you can enjoy for a long time! You'll like the ride of the steel frame too... Can't wait to see the pics!

I am still waiting for the bike :( The seller said he was having a problem getting to UPS due to his job. At least he is communicating w/ me. I cannot wait for it to arrive though... I'm getting anxious to ride!:D It is coming from Tampa and I am across the Gulf so it shouldn't take too long once it gets shipped. 3 days max, I hope!
