Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I don't know how much longer I'm going to own mine. A freind put me on to a 97, LeMond Maillot Juane at a great price. The deal is, if I buy the LeMond, I have to sell him the Allez. Well, I got the LeMond. Now I'm hoping my freind doesn't get too excited when he rides this:

I've picked up some new Hutchinson tires with a blue stripe, but I'm holding off mounting them until I find out what this dude is going to do about buying it.

Here is a terrible picture of mine, but the most current I have. The aerobars are for indoor trainer use only - they make a good magazine/whatever holder. The saddle has also changed to a Selle Italia Max Flite Gel Flow. It's a 2005 Allez Elite - 61cm, built up from a bare frame I got on ebay. It's a 105 10-spd double, Ritchey bars, stem, post. Wheels were OEM on another bike (AC "Victory" with Kenda Kaliente tires). It is my #2 bike, currently what I ride indoors. The stem is also "flipped" now too.

2008 Specialized Allez Elite Compact! It is such a spectacular bike, great value! I have since flipped the stem, changed the brake pads (kool stop salmon!), and changed tires for Krylion Carbons. My latest addition is Ultegra pedals!



This pic is from the top of Mt. Diablo in Northern California. I also hooked my wife onto riding and she bought an old-school steel-frame 1994 Allez!

Here's mine, 2 years old now. Getting a bit bored with her so recently put on white bar tape and a white Stella saddle to rekindle the love but i think i'll be pulling the trigger on something new before the summer kicks in. I will say one thing, I have yet to see a bike identical to her on this forum.......i also fitted spd's a few days after this pic was taken.

Mine's a 2003 Allez Pro. Currently it is Dura Ace 7700, but it will soon be converted to Campy Centaur. I have the parts but not the time...

I'm going to use it as my crit bike. I have a carbon fiber Alan that I am using for road races.

This was my first bike with integrated brake levers/shifters. I rode with downtube friction shifters from 1983 to 2004.
