No pleasing you people, is there? People are going for the modern look now? When did this massive shift come about? If I'm not mistaken, Pista Concepts have existed harmoniously with steel for a while now. I figured it would be *****s on parade for the new steel langsters, but people just seem determined to hate Specialized. I still want one of those steel Allez models they came out with this year.
I think the steel Allez is absolutely gorgeous, and if I needed (could afford) another road bike, I'd seriously consider buying it.
