just stumbled on this pic of the barely-used bike I got my for my college daughter a few years ago, which she's still riding and taking quite good care of, loves it. Its a 2013 Specialized Allez Comp Apex Mid-compact size 52cm, that fits her perfect. those were temporary pedals I had on hand because it arrived without any, I got some nice SPD hybrid pedals for it. I got rid of the awful hard Specialized tires, and put a pair of Open Pavé on it which ride plush but fast, she is a light rider so they've lasted 5 years. it's her daily commuter, and wants to do a bike tour with it, too. oh yeah, I also put a narrow rack on it after taking this pic, an
Axiom Streamliner DLX, and a Gotleib waterproof shopper bag so she was set for Portland, and Arcata.
