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

Better detail pics.

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

Much better pic but still not there. Sorry for calling it a 1.2-1.5
Not.
Its all in the staging bro.
ie: wrong gear, mismatch bottles,etc.
I'd go with black cables to make them more stealth.

You mentioned this as being your 2nd bike so I'll give you a break.
I keep my Allez modest too.

I wouldn't kick either out of bed, but I'd probably keep the Daily Show on during the act.

thanks speshuled, this is a second (beater) bike for me to give my Madone a break every now and then and double as a race bike, so I will probably keep it modest. 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.

$3,000 rims on an Allez? I hope that's an S-works Allez and not an entry level version.

eh? Smartweld is $1,350, Expert is $2,400, and S-Works is $7,000 (!) for the Allez lineup.
*edit oh you must be talking about the frameset only.
