1993 Specialized Allez

Original components with exception of shifters.
stock was downtube. Has been moved to stem.
Shifts nice. Rides nice. What is it worth? 54 or 56cm. No size sticker.

Are you sure it's not a 52 ?

Any case it looks like it's in really good shape, even the saddle. And bonus points for the color. Depending on the market, i'd say between 350-500. American buyers might have a different opinion, I'm curious to know.

Not the most sought after of steel Allez but very nice condition. Lower-end group detracts a bit and those stem shifters are an immediate project for anyone spending Allez money. Thinking $325 +/- $25. Over $350 with shifters sorted.

Nice bike!

$325 - $350. As i always say though if its one of those "gotta have it " bikes for you due to size, color, sentimentality, etc. - $500 wouldnt scare me off. Correct shifters can probably be had for $20 or so., or maybe even gifted to you for the cost of shipping by a forum member

You sir are correct. It is a 52. Good eye!

Ah ! I'm happy you measured it. I've own a few Allez and Sirius rom this era and this just seemed small to me.

Shimano RX100 is nothing to sneeze at. Some say it is virtually identical to 105SC from the same era except it had a bright finish compared to the 105SC components which were painted a gray color. I have some RX100 calipers on a SS/FG bike and they are great performers. They look attractive (to me) as well. I needed long reach brakes and they fit the bill.
