Went in w/ Allez Sport, came out w/ Allez Pro (sort of)
A weekend or two ago, I noticed a couple cracks on the head tube of my '04 Allez Sport, took it to the LBS I got it from, and they said they'd need to replace it, might have to ship back to Specialized. they called me a couple days ago, and Specialized was shipping a new frame...the new frame arrived yesterday. Today I went to pick it up and Specialized shipped an '04 Allez Pro frame!
Just wanted to share the story...Now I need to work upgrading the components and wheels!

Awsome. You got a Columbus SLX alloy frame instead of the old A1 Aluminum. I personally like the look of the black pro frame better too. Kudos to Speciliazed's warrantee policies. Did you get the C4 fork too?

Specialized is great. I had a clicking sound in the freehub and they immediately shipped an entire new wheel.
