After reading a bit about frames, I’m still not entirely sure if Tange = CrMo.

I currently have the Allez but have been pining for an Ironman.

And there’s just something about red bikes...

Plenty here in both camps and I vote Specialized, the Ironmen will be along shortly I suspect. I agree with IC about getting one but unlike him I just vote for both.
