I have a 2011 Specialized Allez I bought on closeout in mid-March last year. It has just crossed the 20,000 mile mark and it's still going strong. The only trouble has a 'burr' on the inside of the rim that appeared while on a 2600 miles bike trip last summer. I didn't find the problem that kept giving me a darn flat tire every 40 miles until after I got home and really started to inspect the entire wheel. A little flake of metal from the rim that was stuck to the rim tape and causing me all kinds of misery.
