2011 Speciaalized Allez comp... Think about it!

...
I bought one about a month ago (my first roadie) and I frickin' love it. Love the SRAM Apex and handles like a dream. Granted, I have very little experience but I love my ride...well worth the $1350

I cant stress enough though...buy the bike that you are most comfortable on. Even if you buy an $8000 bike, if its not comfy, you wont enjoy it. Good luck, either way, you're gonna love the efficiency of a sleek roadie...
