Bikes: A Blue One and 2 Green One's, then there's the Yellow one. And oh, yeah, a Black One. Did I mention the Red One?

2004 Specialized Allez

I know Custom bikes are subjective in both use and price, its finding the butt for the seat.
This bike is waaaay cool and rides perfectly. The guy is taking offers, what would be a good price considering it is well executed and in perfect condition?
- 9 speed
- Carbon fork and seat post
- Velocity rims

We could value it compared to other mid 00’s aluminum Allez with 9-speed 105 but probably not fair in this case. Very unique build that seems to connect with you. You should value it based on that.

FWIW, I’d be inclined to value a stock Allez 105 from this period around $400-$500.

I would start at $300 and see what happens. The demand for this type of bike is narrow and the parts are nothing special.

I was a bit late. Ok though, I have too many bikes as it is. It was on the smaller side for me anyway.
It went for $450. It gives great inspiration for other bikes though. I've been stuck on the English club style for awhile now. This one being all Japanese was a bit blasphemous, it may have been shunned within the crowd in my bike stable.
Thanks for the replies

Would 2004 qualify for Vintage? What is the 'cutoff year' for Vintage?

curious about this too -- however, with '23 model year bikes rolling out now -- the bike is 18-19 years old

But looking at that bike i cant help but think of the "Putting lipstick on a pig" expression
