1992 & 1993 in particular.
I found an online source, but they're in German and no sprekense deutsch.

No Allez pro in '92, just the Allez Comp. And I have a '94 catalog, just can't seem to find it at the moment.
Here's the 1993 Allez Pro.

Thanks. That's my bike. Don't worry about the 1994 catalog.

^I'm sure that was a sarcastic comment in reference to retrobike.co.uk
However, I can't read, write, or speak German so I was hoping someone had an English version.

I have a '93 Allez project I'm working on and all I could find were the German catalogs. For 220 I'd just grab it as long as it's the right size with no frame damage. Regardless of the model they all feature a very light, lugged frame with oversize tubing. Some had aluminum forks while others had a cro-mo unicrown fork. I'd prefer the cro-mo fork but the models with the nicer groupsets have aluminum.

I can probably fake my way through most of the copy on the Allez photo pages...
Specialized handmade these frames - the classic frame construction! Made them light, with Direct Drive geo (or maybe stays, or maybe fork?), frame weight of 1.65 kg for the 56cm size.
Mark DiNucci used investment cast lugs. blah, blah, blah. 8-speed cassette, 130mm rear spacing.
I guess my German's pretty rough
but most of the good info is on the specs pages, anyway.

1994 Specialized Catalog
I realize I'm trying to bring an old thread back from the dead, but saw the mention of the 1994 catalog. If you still have it and can post the Allez Pro pages with specs and geometry, that would be amazing.
