Great looking bikes everyone. I may be picking this '06 up Friday. Wish me luck!
Sorry for the happy seller photos. I'll be posting better ones if I get her.

My guess is around the 400-500 maybe 600 with the easton wheels. The bike should weigh right around 22 lbs. Is that a triple or double crankset?

Besides the wheel it also has a Cateye Double wireless computer. Are those set up to show you what gear your in?

My '09 Allez Compact
Spent 20 years bikeless, got this '09 in '09, and in March of this year alone I put more miles on it than I did in all of '10. I didn't ride a single mile on '11. Longer toeclips fixed the numb toes, moved the saddle back a bit (K 1/2" BPS works best for me) , and flipped the stem to get my back, arms and hands used to riding again. As I get better, the stem will get flipped back. Before all that fit was almost good, but not good enough. Now it's perfect for my current needs. HTFU should take care of what's left.
The flat black paint on the shifter cables are to reduce hot-spots from the headlight, I actually do night-ride this quite a bit.
I know, still has clips and straps.. I still sometimes putz around in street clothes to the grocer's and whatnot. But most of the time, it's being ridden proper to regain fitness.
Love the Allez. What a bike for not much cash. I'd almost call it a relaxed bike!
Eventually I'll complement it with a late 80's Schwinn like a Peloton, Circuit, Paramount, those were the bikes I lusted after, but couldn't get. I made do with an '87 Traveler on 700c wheels. Loved it!
Once I do get that Old Bike, the Allez will get a top to bottom makeover with 105 and spd, and presuming I'm fit enough by then, I'll probably race it in whatever class old farts race in.

Got my new November RFSC38 wheels in this week. Completely changes the look and feel of the bike. Also swapped out the hyperglide cassette for a DA cassette. And yes, it is time for some new bar tape. I kinda like the dirty white tape though, just means I use my bike.

Great set of gears for a wide variety of terrain. Nothing wrong with the triple. But I do enjoy the operation of the double setup nicer.

Looks nice, very nice. Any issues with the CF tubing and durability? I almost picked one of these up off of CL but after reading a few bad reviews I decided against it.
