    Bike Setup:2004 Speciallized Allez Comp Cro-Mo, Full Shimano Ultegra front and Rear derailler, 53/39 chain rings, 12 25 cassette,Shimano 540 wheelsets, Shiman SPD pedals. Reynolds Carbon fork, Carbon seat post, San Marco Saddle.
    Bottom Line:A very well built road/race frame that is Chrome Moly Steel (Columbus FOCO). The build quality and welding are superb for a factory bike. It almost appears to be filet brazed they are done so neat. This bike is the COMP model and came equipped with a Carbon Fork,seat post and Stem. It also had Full Ultegra Deraillers and with the 53/39 chainrings and 12/25 Cassett is a very durable sturdy racer that is comfotable mount to ride. It let's you hammer without hammerin you! had decents of 45 MPH which were very smooth, tracking is like a sports car. I don't think you can go wrong with a Bike built by Specialized.

    Favorite Trail:
    Any and all!
    Duration Product Used:
    more than 3 years
    Strengths:
    Resiliency, smooth ride, stiffness, quality of workmanship... steel is real!
    Gotta love it!
    Weaknesses:
    Not ultra light (but that's o.k.)
    Similar Products Used:
    Cannondale, Specialied Allez Epic Carbon,
    Peugeot
    Bike Setup:
    Early 90's Dura Ace
    Mavic wheels
    Bottom Line:Well, I want to put in my 10 cents worth not for one of these new and wonderful models, but for my
    1984 (yes, EIGHTY FOUR) Specialized Allez SE. I inherited the bike in immaculate condition
    from a friend back in '94, and it had the old Suntour Superbe Pro stuff on it! Damn, I even think it
    had cloth tape! Retro!
    Anyway, as many fellow cyclists have been wont to do, I swapped all my early '90s Dura Ace parts
    onto this rig and I was rollin'!!! It is a STEEL frame and fork, from back when Specialized only had
    two road frames, the Allez, and the Allez SE. Pretty much the only major difference was on some of
    the specs, and that the dropouts were Campy on the Allez, and Shimano on the SE. Anyway, this
    thing is plenty stiff but comfortable. It corners like it was on rails, and is VERY responsive. It was
    constructed with what Specialized simply called special series double butted tubes. I love it so
    much, that I recently sent it out to the Portland, Oregon facility that paints all of Specialized's 'high
    end' framesets.
    In short, while I'm sure that the newer generation Allez-es are sweet, I recommend hunting down an
    '80s model.
