I guess here is a pic of the allez from today. Yes, I know it's dirty. (lots of snow melt this week)
Only real difference since last pic are the SuperiorLite wheels and Forte tires along with the computer from my touring bike, since my blackburn keeps dying.

Somewhere along my 25 mile ride today. The wheels are awesome and they stood up extremely well to some very rough and broken post winter roads.

Nice ride BillyK. The Soul wheels match up great. What was the cost without the wheels with the Sram setup?

That has quite a bit of potential. Are you trying to sell it or find parts to fix it up? Looks to me like it just needs a new saddle, tires, bartape and some adjustments and you are good to go. (if you are over 6ft)

The biggest problem is the sti levers aren't working at all. They shift up one gear and return back when the lever is released.

My '97 Metal Matrix Allez. Full 105 5700. Will hopefully be upgrading wheels to something like a DT RR1.1 or 465 laced to Dura Ace or Ultegra sometime soon.

Professional Fuss-Budget
I'll post my pic in a few days. I swears it. 
In the interim: The bike comes with a set of Allez All Condition "Elites," which are rated for 115 to 125 PSI. Anyone know if I can go lower on the pressure without getting pinch flats, e.g. 110 or even 100?

I recently bought a house that has a white garage door, so I plan to take another pic when I get her cleaned up (haven't bothered cleaning it with the roads being wet recently)

Now that I have a house with a white garage door, here is the obligatory glamor shot.
Edit: Now shadow free!

Wooo hoo Urban. Finally a garage door. Congrats! Garages are very hard to come by where I live (Most houses are built pre 1900) but I usually just borrow a friends or something along the lines. How do you like the Allez? Are those the stock wheels? Was not a giant fan of my Stock Allexx wheels that came with the allez.

This thread is amazing. Specialized customer loyalty is amazing. I have difficulty imagining a similar thread titled "Show us your Trek 1.5."

Thanks! The only thing I think looks funny on it is the stem angle with all of the spacers (and top crown) removed, but even the way it is in the pic, the bars are 1cm higher than on my last bike so it stays this way.
