Road Cycling - Why so many Allez Cro-mo, cheap?

Why am I seeing so many Specialized Allez Elite ro-mo for sale on the net, and cheap. I really wanted one but had to settle on Aluminium a couple months ago. Now they are selling for half price or less.

Is there something to this? Why the unload, did Specialize make too many?

This guy has several:

This guy has at least four:

May ebay one may be a scam, the bidder list is private. Plus those list for $1300 on Specialized's website. I just noticed that he has those listed with full Ultegra stuff, Specialized website has them listed as a 105 group.

Possibly. No feedback ever on sales... I sent an e-mail to the seller to get "info", so we'll see if it's a scam.

Let me know what you find, I'm bike shopping right now and that's a killer deal. I've been doing so much research online that my wife has given me a deadline to order a bike (either online or from LBS) by this Wednesday.

Allez alloy 105 triple group, Xero XR1 wheelset, ITM stem handle bar, selle italia seat going for USD760 its darn cheap, but I've also heard somewhere they have a bunch of reject frames in the market. I'm not too sure just need to confirm with you guys I was thinking of getting the allez b4 I bought my TCR2 until I heard the rumours.

Hmmm, even more evidence the Ebay bike is a scam. If you look at the specs they are from a Cro-Mo comp, not the Elite. The picture is from the Elite however. Either a scam or an idiot. Stay away.

Edit: He will also ship worldwide for free...

At least you got an approval and a deadline from your wife. I have to do a lot of manuevering and sneaking parts a little at a time. Takes so long to complete a bike though. Added to that, i have to work hard to pay for those. Wishing you get your bike soon.

I e-mailed him too. I hope he is just stupid. If so, I'll buy them all and pick them up.

As much as i hope this is a real auction, I suspect its a scam.

you know what else is fishy.... the sizing. specialized makes number sizes, not small medium large, like giant does

Forget these bikes folks. The components alone are almost with the price! It's either a scam or the guy is selling stolen bikes. With free shipping?? Come one!

Scam! :mad:

All auctions are now removed. Good thing a few of us e-mailed the seller who apparently had his account hijacked...

Yes, I never got a return mail, but the auction went up to 900.00 before it closed. Sealed bids of course.
