I am now thinking of buying one of those Allez Sprint frames just because I like the color scheme.
the other day i raced with a dude who had a gold -- GOLD -- allez sprint. it actually looked pretty great in person. he was commenting on my venge and we got to talking about his bike; he had the same concerns when he ordered it -- namely that it would look way to bold/garish.
he liked the bike overall.
