You'd figure with a name like "Sequoia" it would be huge and sprawling...
But you're totally right- an Allez with rack mounts, slightly longer chainstays and a triple.
It seems that sport/tourers always get mid to lower end components. I think it's like @
Chrome Molly mentioned- it's neither fish nor fowl. "Real" enthusiasts will spend to get the specific type of bike... the "specialized" model, as it were...
What strikes me about the old Sequoia is that it's not a race bike, it's not a touring bike- but it's got Class A components on it.
