I am certain that I am not the only one with a magic bike. In fact, I know @LAJ has one too. And now possibly Roll, only you can know. In your case it would be a magic rain bike. As I understand it, those are very rare. 
Bikes are indeed good. Add a little magic in, and they can't be beat.

You are correct, this is not any of the aforementioned wars. It's a group of backstabbing, low life cowards, who would try to terrorize us by murdering innocent men, women and children to the pointe that 200 of them had to throw themselves out of the burning twin towers. Oh the brave men and women of our armed forces know and knew exactly why they were putting thier lives on the line in Iraq and Afganistan. Theyre saying, you murder our innocent ones and we will hunt your cowardly asses till the end of time and don't beg for mercy when we get there, but instead enjoy the hell that you created!
I just don't understand how suffering 200 deaths on 9/11 equates to sending 8,000 of our own to their deaths. More death for death? I'll never understand that concept.

Give it a break. This isn't P&R, so enough.
This is more your speed.

Or a Venge.
But...
I'm very happy with the Allez. Stiff enough for me when get out of the saddle on the short little hill near my house. The front end feels very stable, which is nice on descents. And, so far, it isn't beating me up on the crappy roads we have around here.
My basis for comparison is a 25 year old Schwinn and a mountain bike, so I'm not the best reviewer. It's way better than those, at least.

Also likely unresponsive dead wood, has the same geometry as the dead wood Tarmac. Probably even uses the same fork.

So 4,486 US Soldiers dead in Iraq was the right response? Somewhere around 3,000 Soldiers killed in Iraq. Nearly 200,000 civilians, not terrorists, civilians, killed between Iraq and Afghanistan? You don't think your view isn't as extreme as these terrorists you hate so much? The result of sending nearly 8,000 soldiers to their deaths amounted to nothing, since terrorism in that region has only increased and their support stronger. I'm saddened for both the Afghanis and Iraqis, casualties and for the soldiers. That's all I see, more deaths, more terrorism.
I just don't understand how suffering 200 deaths on 9/11 equates to sending 8,000 of our own to their deaths. More death for death? I'll never understand that concept.

This is all that really matters.
I want to ride one of those, the Spec. Allez/Tarmac geometry is really close to my black bike (tallish 190mm head tube on a 58) and longish for a 58 top tube. It might make a dandy replacement for the Flite should I break another one in half... or decide to sell it when I move.

Ha. Ha ha. At the photography forum, an argument over whether image stabilization is a suitable replacement for a tripod (w/r/t landscape photography) has resulted in the banning of two posters. I told you they were just as dumb as bike people.

In the pre-internet days I saw a massive flame war erupt in an on-line forum over VCR head cleaners (wet vs. dry).
