"Terrible" may be being kind in this instance ...

Posting for a friend that just finished up his Allez build. The colors may be a bit much for some people...but I think its a nice departure from the sea of black bikes. If it was me...I'd do the cables in plain black.

Hot and the colored cables work well, I think.

It's so OTT it kinda works. I'm curious as to the thinking behind putting such high zoot parts on an Allez frame. Not that there's anything wrong with an Allez.
I didn't get a chance to weigh this bike...but estimating at around mid to high 15lbs. The cockpit parts are all aluminum. These new Madfiber clinchers are mad light. They feel just about...if not lighter than my 404 tubulars. This new Allez frame is super nice. You can build up this 880 msrp frame to be lighter than most companies mid range carbon frames...including Spesh's own. Cannondale has to step up their game with the CAAD11.

Interesting that we have two bikes with the same color scheme posted back to back. As to this one, to me, it's just trying too hard. A 6 degree upward stem would look better with that sloping top tube. It's a good looking bike, don't get me wrong but it doesn't have the 'just enough' that the Ritte has, for instance. Madfibers will convince most on here that it's hot, and they are good looking wheels and yes, this bike would turn my head, but too much, imo.

True enough, and it'd be a fantastic race bike. I know a lot of people choose an alu frame because it's cheaper to replace after a wreck, but I'm not sure how much water that argument holds if your wheels cost that much. :)
|
I really like those allez frames, I dig the colors. I think bmcphx's needs more bling and Robots needs less bling. I really wish those mad fiber wheels had the black decals rather than the white.
I wouldn't kick either out of bed, but I'd probably keep the Daily Show on during the act. |

Similarly, the Fuji on the previous page has the makings of a hottie if I could see it properly. |

um wrong thread methinks.

Why does the Allez look photoshopped.......? Either way, it is a bit gaudy and thrown together.

I like how its come together for you. You mentioned this as being your 2nd bike so I'll give you a break. I keep my Allez modest too. |

It's 17.02# with those 1750g wheels, Ultegra, and plastic bottle cages. |

One of these days I'm driving downtown and riding my bike all day around the city in hopes of spotting one of your rides in action. |
