Advice on this road bike?
I found an 06 Specialized Allez Tripple on my local craigslist, but I must admit I'm not that up on the component groupings there using on road bikes these days.
Factory specs are listed at https://www.specialized.com/bc/SBCBkM...006&spid=21577
Is that considered a decent component groupin, and for a second hand version of this bike that sounds like it's been ridden a few times and stored does $500 seem average, cheap or too expensive?

I would think this time of year you could get a 07, if you can find one in your size, through a LBS for pretty close to that price point. I know the 08 Allez are already coming out so it may be hit or miss what is still out there. Unless it is in GREAT condition I wouldn't pay $500 for it. As far as the components the Sora is Shimano's entry level group, decent but nothing great. It is more than enough to get started on though...
