My LBS has one of those. I was checking it out and thinking if I added a set of SORA 8 speed shifters that I have in the spare parts box to that bike it would be a great ride. Really nice looking bike and a good deal as an entry level bike. I just wish it had brifters.

Don't have the steel, but I love my Allez. Keep riding and keep updating. People love pictures on this forum. In fact, it is kind of a rule, if you don't have the pics, it didn't happen. Useless if you don't own a camera that you are handy with, but it makes for much more interesting and visibly friendly threads. 
BTW: welcome to the forums.
