2014 Allez

Bought this bike used in 2024 as a beginner and I absolutely love it. Bike has a great feel, rides fast and looks great even for a 10 year old bike. I’ve upgraded the handle bars to c/f aero style and rims to 50mm c/f. But this bike will be my only till years down the road when I build or buy a S-Works.

I've had my bike since new in 2014 and aim 100 % happy with it ! I have made some improvements like switching over the stock aluminum fork and handlebars with c/f replacements ( later Allez's came stock with a carbon fork ) the bike as built from the factory is excellent and very reliable and comfortable to ride even long distances . Parts like the derailleurs and wheels are pretty good as is and I haven't felt the need to swap them , the wheels especially have held-up very well and still roll true and fast for stock wheels . As an overall ride , I'd have to say it's been as good as any other bikes in it's price range and unless your going to race it ( which it definitely wasn't designed for anyway ) even now this is a modern fantastic platform for everyday riding and touring . The only problem I've had with it is ( just now after 8 years of riding ) the bottom bracket needs to be replaced , and I'm a big guy , 240 + , so again ,, 100 % happy with my bike . get one soon !!
