Given an Allez Specialized Sport
I was given an Allez Speciialized Sport (2003) with no pedals, seat and a broken front derailleur. The derailleur was an easy fix and I had a seat and pedals. This is a ton and a half better than my Walmart Schwinn that I have been riding for the last 4 years. I gave the Schwinn away to a single lady, substitute teacher (out of work) who just got her bike stollen and she loved it. A Walmart Schwinn is better than nothing. I am turning 70 soon so I am changing the road bars to a flat bar and I have rapid fire shifters and brake levers coming. I only have about 50 miles on it but I am impressed. Anyone that has owned this bike, I would appreciate your thoughts.

I figured get a free one, so the only correct thing to do was - pass it forward. I was excited getting this Allez but I think she was more excited about getting my used 21 speed Schwinn. I think her old one was single speed and we have a lot of hills here, so the upgrade will be good for her.
