thanks Gary 
Jay, I had a Fuji team pro before this one and I actually sold it to a bf member who just got into road biking.

This bike goes like a bat out of hell. It's stiff but not jarring, light but not flexy. I can't wait to race this beautiful machine.

Her name is Il Brutto Paracarra. Since Serotta decals are harder to find than a wh0re in church, I'm going to get her repainted down the road and have some decals made.
The threaded steel fork I had was just too short for the headtube, so I'll have to put my good Alpha Q in there since I have no cash.
It sucks too, because I jsut repainted my fork for this frame.

Specialized Allez Triple
Almost full Tiagra
Colorado Cyclist Ultegra rear wheel
BMX Pedals lol
The rear wheel and Sora shifters were the only things I felt needed improvement. Word to anyone searching and thinking of buying this bike: tell the seller to make triple sure about the terrible rear wheel.
I bought this bike a year ago when I knew nothing about bikes, it was what was recommended to me based on budget, purpose and geometry. First group ride I went out on, I was told to upgrade several things, and learned nothing about riding except drafting, and no one even bothered to learn my name.
I lost 50 or so pounds last summer, found cooler people to join on rides, and learned that you're gonna have more fun if you love the one you're with. Today I went on a 30+ mile Kingfisher photo hunting trip instead of staring out at nothing but a road to both sides, and a doofus with more money than a sense of humor and self-worth in the front.
But whatever. If you're in the Texas Panhandle hit me up. I like to have fun and am down for just about anything.

I bought this Specialized Allez base model last year and over time it went through a small transformation. Drivetrain is composed of Sram Force with '09 Rival rear derailleur, and Shimano Ultegra chain. Wheels are the Neuvation R28 Aero4 minus the stickers. Love riding it!
