Bought last year. And the newer Allez comps are going for the same price with 105 components instead of Ultegra and the MSRP is $1700. So with that info I figured that $1000 for a bike I know and that I want and can not be found in a lbs is worth it to me. I just trying to make you all understand my thinking. Now I wouldn't have bike more than $1000 which I didn't because even though the MSRP was $1600 when I bought mine I only paid $1200 because it was the end of the season and they were dumping the steel frames I'm sure. All in all, it was worth a grand to me but not more and that's the way it turned out. Also here's the site and it says it's sold so I don't think the buyer reneged. Check it out:

Ooops. I clicked on the first link that you provided in an earlier post, which turns out was for a search for "specialized allez comp road bike" and it returned one result. The result just *happened* to be for a bike that the seller stated was relisted due to the buyer not paying. I just assumed it was your bike that was the one I was looking at.
No, a 2004 certainly isn't an old bike
Sorry for the confusion!
