I especially don't like the compact frame of the Allez. I also think $300 is a bit steep for the SR500. What do you guys think?
I have a 2005 Allez Sport and it's the most fun bike I've ever ridden (tho I do love my 2011 Roubaix). $350 is a great price for the Elite. Ride it, you'll like it. It's a non-nonsense bike. Then maybe buy them both, sell the Cannondale. Don't pass this up.
