I'm pretty happy with the components, and finally feel like the bike is dialed in for me.

What I wanted to know from you guys, is what extras should I put on it ? But I do not want to weight the bike down to much, or it would defeat the whole purpose. Bike weighs 20.2 as it sits in the pictures below. I would like an awesome super bright rear blinky, bright front head lamp, water bottle holder, and probably an under saddle tool kit. Co2 , tire levers, extra tube, all in one bike tool, etc.... And also what I might do to ( bling the bike up ) so to speak. Any ideas on the brand of accessories, color, etc..




I'm pretty content with the overall bike as it sits, but any new ideas would be great. Adding the accessories is starting to be a challenge, there are so many to choose from. I can spend a decent amount on them, just want light weight, nice looking, and to work good.

Thanks in advance, really want the team to help me with ideas to complete it.

Well didn't really find what I was looking for, lights, under saddle bag, new water bottle. Have had that same set of bottles for 3 years I think. Looked at all kinds of lights though, (and that was really what I wanted most) from 19.99 and UP !! Did pick up an adjustable stem, so now I can go from aggressive to comfort in just minutes. Also a new Bontrager saddle( Evoke 1), Bontrager water bottle cage, cheap Wellgo peddles, and a Parktool. Went to about 5 different bike shops, almost bought a Trek FX 2 for just plain riding, only have the Allez now. Going back to look at it Wednesday, pouring down rain here all day. Here's a few pictures : Love that Parktool. I really liked a Cygolite Kit, it was the 400 (something) ? but was really bright, and the rear blinky was blinding, 99.00 for the set. Didn't want to just through a 100.00 dollars away if it turned out to be a dud. Still any ideas you guys might have would help, I have gave up on the blinging the bike out. it just is not going to happen. Sorry for the long post, just never really attempted at building a bike of this level of parts. And my friends can not believe that people will spend 300.00 dollars on a bike Was touching a set of race wheels in one shop, asked the guy how much they were, he said 4000.00 dollars. I said for the bike, he says no the WHEELS ! The bike was 16,000 total USED !! My Allez started looking better.

Nice setup! I had an aluminum Trek hybrid for 5 years and aluminum bikes FEEL fast and sporty! My bike had hybrid geometry and a $30 crankset so I can't imagine what your 105 equipped road bike geometry feels like. Probably like a rocket.

I started doing something similar last year to my old 1995 Trek but over time I took an interest in bicycle geometry and figured out what I liked and didn't like about that Trek. Long story short, I ended up getting a new Handsome Devil frame last week and I'm building a Deore level bike. A co-worker saw a picture of my Trek on my laptop and asked me about it and wanted some suggestions for she and her husband to get into bike riding. I could see the look of shock on her face when I advised her to go to an LBS and prices would probably start around $400-500 for an appropriate bike (she's a fitness buff and in great shape..probably not gonna want a cruiser). I didn't have the heart to tell her that the wheels alone on my bike cost more than the bike did when it was new in 1995.

Your right it was a 105 group set stock, now its Ultegra except the Brakes. It does feel super fast though, but setting it up to fit got complicated, went through 3 stems, 120.00 dollars worth now laying in my growing pile. But the adjustable one works awesome. I seen the bike your building (the frame) so your going the MTB group set components ? I live in flat Florida now, and love the 10 speed rear, no use for the MEGA gear like back in North Carolina..

Suppose mudguards, but thats because it is where I live
the French Berthoud company has some in Carbon fiber so as to keep both wheelspray and weight down..

and I dont care for round grips, any more, after trying Ergon grips, and their comfortable palm support..

this one includes a carbon fiber Bar End https://www.ergon-bike.com/us/en/product/gs2-carbon

GS1 is w/o bar end

& flatlands the 36t chainring seems un needed , you could put a 46 on there,
and the shift between the 2, 50-46 would be a snap.

Paris Roubaix is not a hilly race, they use a 46-53..

That is what I needed, even yesterday tried to come up with a way to make those work (bar ends) with Treks line of grips. Thanks so much, consider them ordered they look sweet. I do have to ride a lot of start & stop traffic, and use my smallest chain ring a good bit. Also I'm not a real strong rider, and have a back & knee that will act up, if I push to hard. Needed a fresh set of eyes looking at it, love those grips.

Nice bike!

I'm a big fan of triples, and would probably opt for 50, 40, 30 chainrings. Plenty of go, and enough low.

I can't imagine a hybrid without fenders, and a rack. I might have to look at those CF mudguards....... . Hmmmmmmmm.

I'm using an MTB crankset because road cranksets are geared way to high for my abilities but I probably will switch to a road cassette. I'm using an 11-28 now and will likely change to a 12-27 or 12-25.

Wanderer that's where I went today, picked up a Giant Escape City. Fenders and all, I don't know about you guys, but when I get a new bike, the other sometimes hits the back burner. Never thought I would be riding with fenders.

That's a lot of bike for the money......

Should have been voted Hybrid of the year.. 2012
