Nice in many ways. But I still haven't wrapped my head around why Spesh made an S-Works aluminum frame.

So @WHOOOSSHHH... could build it. Duh. :). Same reason Kevin Costner built a baseball diamond in a corn field.

I get it now. Like...I'd love to have a custom-painted Pegoretti frame, they're quite beautiful...but I'd probably just mount it on the wall and never build it up or ride it...

Very nice, WHOOOSSHHH. That's got some nice colors to it. Still pissed at Specialized, but I'll look past it for that bike.

That's alum? Looks like carbon.

Nice bike, Whoossh.

No, you don't get it. Serious question, is that aluminum or carbon?

Uh oh, this thread is about to get locked again, isn't it?

WHOOOSSHHH... 04-20-14 08:47 AM

Thanks everyone...it is aluminum. Bike shop weighed in in at 15 lbs. I'm not swearing to it though. I have last years Allez race in solid black but I tired of the stealth look quickly. The photo does this bike zero justice as in person the colors really standout. I like the fit of the ALLEZ and the welds are way better on the SWORKS. Worth the price difference? Probably not, but that's like allot of cycling stuff!!

Not

The crazy multicolored s works allez is one of my favorite paint jobs right now. Yours is nice too, though.

Except for the rear bottle launchers, this is a nice hybrid.

I like my bottle launchers.. :P

It's not really a hybird.. It's pretty much a Roubaix with a flat bar..

I don't expect the bike to get much love here for that reason but I love it! My 1st bike with the electronic shift and I'm sold.. This has Ui2 and not Di2 however..

Sweet bike. I'm amazed at how thin those seat stays are.

gc3 04-20-14 09:16 AM

Since the rules limit snarky comments, I have nothing to add...although I do wonder what is wrapped around he base of that tree...

I don't care if you slam my bike,, Have at it...

I have no idea what is on the base of the tree.. Next time I am at that tree, I am going to have to look now.. LOL

It seems to have a more sloped top tube and a taller head tube than a Roubaix.

Honestly, I have no clue as that was a guess on my part.. The frame is 10r carbon so I guess that's why I assumed Roubaix..

Would Specialized make a new frame for such a limited amount of bikes? I assume the frame was from a road bike version but again, I have no clue...

Good point Billy... I'm hoping that thin and fat work out!
