Can anyone make a reasonable guess to year and groupset on this Allez
Looking to buy this off of FB Marketplace because why not, but curious if anyone has a good guess to the year and what groupset it has.
thanks.

That's a stem extender? Is that a thing?

That's the first bike I've seen with a longer stem stack than the seatpost!

Ehh, it sold out from under me. I was going to strip it down and use it as a winter beater/ trainer bike. Finding a decent cheap bike in my size in my area is damn near impossible.

Its a stem extender. Thats why there are multiple pinch bolts on the steerer above the head tube. Stem extenders are a relatively common way to make a bike fit someone who has a totally different fit need than what the bike traditionally allows. I see them mostly on road bikes with older cyclists. I am guessing they try the bike in a parking lot, find the position acceptable, then are in pain for anything over 30min of riding so they get a stem extender to push the bars up a bunch.
