The Allez is a good starting point- many parts of that time are cross-compatible. 1” threaded headset, threaded bottom bracket, very common handlebar and stem sizes… putting different parts on it should be straightforward.
Thanks, Jeff. Great suggestion.
I'm not seeing any actual bike co-ops near me but I'll keep my eye out while I figure out first steps.
Ride On Bike Co-Op looks promising but they're all the way in DTLA so not really doable for my location.
Thanks again.
