2014 Specialized Allez, size 52 Sram Red 10/Quarq KCNC brakes Reynolds 66 tubular/continental sprinter wheels/quarq/stem/handlebar/brakes already owned or used on a previous bike shifter/FD/RD are new, but had been purchased long before i bought this frame. original plan was just to upgrade my 2002 Giant TCR alu frame to SRAM red (its my crit bike). but this frame is only $880 and it has the same geometry as my tarmac. So now this is my race bike. I will cut the top of the steerer once the fit is confirmed. I'm turning my TCR into full-on commuter/rain bike/travel bike. blue brakes/pink cables. yes i did this on purpose. |
This is hot. In a crazy way, but hot. An A for unique artistic effort. Well done.

That Allez is "Poiiiisonnnnn"...(*late 80's/90's r&b hit)
Hot, well done save10! |

The Allez is by far the hottest bike I've seen in this thread.
You now need to wear this kit while riding it- http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=363977 |

Thank goodness it's not EPS/Di2 compatible; my Ti project would've been pushed back to 2015. Great looking frameset!
Bellissima. |

Dang, this bike is one of the hottest unique looking bikes simply due to the splash of colors. Well done, should be an awesome blur when you're racing. |
I really like some of the more garish Specialized paint jobs. Only small change I would suggest would be running a 6 degree stem and a shorter headset top cap. You'd get the same bar height and it would be slightly more visually balanced. |

Come on - don't follow up the Allez with a stock photo...

My probably eternal quest for an Alfa frame set has begun.

Good for you... but since that ain't your bike, and it's a stock photo, you're posting in the wrong thread.

Alfa bike. Not hot.

That is a spectacularly ugly frame (the Alfa). What were they thinking with the top-tube? Its like they put the big triangle together upside down....
The Specialized is definitely hot and NOT SUBTLE, which makes it more awesome. |
Cut the steer tube and the colors don't really do it for me, but what kills it is the depth of the wheels. |
New member here, so be gentle ha. Been reading for a while gaining tons of info.
Pretty happy with everything about the bike right now except the crappy saddle, weight is at 16.5 lb with the training wheels. Went with the digital blue pro4s because the light blue and red is a well used combination of my home country. Have a slight dilemma that I found a saddle that is immensely comfortable for me but it is a white saddle, my old antares00 is thrashed, it's killing me to have to put white on a bike with absolutely no white on it. http://www.eddiechoi.net/black.jpg |
Could be hot with some minor work. Lose the colored tires, slam the stem, and get an all black bar tape.
