Identify an Allez (Pleez)
So I bought this off CL pretty much new a few months back for $675. Wondering what model Allez it actually is and whether or not I got a good deal.
Also, I can't find much info regarding the geometry. He said it was 60cm but I see a sticker that says XXL. Can't find anything on Specialized's site about the geo.
Thanks guys.

Judging by shots it looks like an Allez 08 Triple. Which for at that price isn't that bad of a deal.

It's an 07 allez triple. Why would you buy a $700 bike and then ask if you got a deal and specs on it? Wouldn't you want to find that out first? Just curious.
Here is a link for the specs and geometry:

that's definately a very large frame. You might want to make sure it's the proper size for you...cuz, that's a very large frame :O

^I bought my bike used and then asked if it was a deal. Sometimes you don't have time to do research on a deal, you just have to go with it.

Large frames used aren't worth as much either. There was a guy at a college mtb race this weekend who had a Specialized S-Works new frame with a nice fork (don't remember) that he was trying to sell for $300. He's been trying to sell it for a while on CL and stuff too. It was a 62 cm I think. I looked at it for about 4 seconds until I realized it was huge. Hard to find buyers for bikes that big.

This answer just seems flawed to me. How do you know it was a deal? Without doing your homework you can't tell. In the Op's case the bike sold for around $770 new. He paid $100 less than brand new for a 2 year old bike with questionable fit. He could have walked in to the LBS and got a fit, maybe some stuff tossed in for free and a brand new bike for $100 more and a warranty. Not to say there aren't some great deals to be had on CL but without knowing what your looking at how can you justify the purchase?

Well, I had a pretty good idea. It was eBay, and I didn't want to come on here asking about a good deal, 'cuz someone might go take it.

If you are happy with it, and like it, and can ride it - you got a good deal...
