Does the Specialized Allez E5 frameset get lighter with each new model year?
I've got a 2002 E5 and I'm curious whether subsequent model years have yielded lower frameset (frame and fork) weights. Not a whole lot of data out there on actual weights. My assumption is that the newer tube shapes should yield lower frame weights, but that's just an assumption as I have no data. Weightweenies has data on some older frames, but not the newer ones. Anyone ever upgraded from an older allez E5 frameset to a newer one and found and weight difference?
thanks

Probably only when they go through major revisions.
2012/2013-ish E5 Allez S-Works was significantly reworked. I would think its a safe assumption that it is lighter and stiffer for criterium performance.
