1993 Specialized Allez Comp restoration


The



I’m sure most everyone on here would have taken a second look,but auction goers only saw an old nasty bike. After some cleaning and polishing the paint on this bike was amazing. Only a few of the normal replacement parts and a complete tear down and regressing were necessary to get it finished. What a great riding bike.

Beautiful restoration, and nice picture presentations. I've got two modernish Specialized, including a 2002 Allez. It would be nice to find a vintage one that nice, nice job!

So you are about to restore the bike on the left? And you hope it looks like the bike on the right? Good luck!
