Interesting that we have two bikes with the same color scheme posted back to back. As to this one, to me, it's just trying too hard. A 6 degree upward stem would look better with that sloping top tube. It's a good looking bike, don't get me wrong but it doesn't have the 'just enough' that the Ritte has, for instance. Madfibers will convince most on here that it's hot, and they are good looking wheels and yes, this bike would turn my head, but too much, imo.
Similarly, the Fuji on the previous page has the makings of a hottie if I could see it properly.

Why does the Allez look photoshopped.......? Either way, it is a bit gaudy and thrown together.

Much better pic but still not there. Sorry for calling it a 1.2-1.5
Not.
Its all in the staging bro.
ie: wrong gear, mismatch bottles,etc.
I'd go with black cables to make them more stealth.
You're not kidding about the pic being terrible.
I like how its come together for you.
You mentioned this as being your 2nd bike so I'll give you a break.
I keep my Allez modest too.

I really like those allez frames, I dig the colors. I think bmcphx's needs more bling and Robots needs less bling. I really wish those mad fiber wheels had the black decals rather than the white.
I wouldn't kick either out of bed, but I'd probably keep the Daily Show on during the act.

thanks speshuled, this is a second (beater) bike for me to give my Madone a break every now and then and double as a race bike, so I will probably keep it modest. It's 17.02# with those 1750g wheels, Ultegra, and plastic bottle cages.

Thats not bad at all. I love madfiber wheels, but I think yours looks more appropriate than the decked out one. You did very well, especially for a beater.

$3,000 rims on an Allez? I hope that's an S-works Allez and not an entry level version.

eh? Smartweld is $1,350, Expert is $2,400, and S-Works is $7,000 (!) for the Allez lineup.
*edit oh you must be talking about the frameset only.
