Specialized Allez Epic. Sell?
So I have this 1991 Specialized Allez Epic. Near mint. Has a little wrinkle on the left side "Specialized" decal and I think that's it. I made it and 8 speed, put those brifters on, and added Neuvation wheels. Selling on CL and I have a local guy interested for $300, but he isn't free until tomorrow. Too cheap? I'm thinking about adding it to the keeper collection but you can't keep everything.

If the buyer is happy and you're happy then I'm happy too. Don't worry. Be good. Have fun.

I'll have to see if he gets back to me. You know how Craigslist goes. I took it for a ride this morning. It's a dream.

Dang!, That's one I would certainly keep!
It has one of the nicest looking lugged CF frameset of that time. And look at all that beautiful visible CF weave under the clearcoat!
See my sig.....

Beautiful bike. I'm not sure about your area, but around here (Phoenix) they go for about $300, so the price seems about right. OTOH, you can keep them all or at least try like hell.

I would say keep $300 is too low considering components and condition . You can likely get more than that from the cheapskates here for the better components if your welling to butcher this nice bike.
