    I have the brand new 2010 Allez Sport Double. Being new to road cycling but having been on a bike all my life, from mountain bikes, to racing bmx to street and vert bikes I've ridden them all. This by far is one of the best bikes I've owned and enjoyed. Bought the bike august of this year and already have rideen over a 100 miles. Great bike for your buck!! Would recomend to anyone.

    Mines an 2008 allez triple .Fantastic bike really impressed . Purchased on cycle scheme through work .Let down by the poor standard wheels three trips to supplying dealer's BRIAN ROUKES at Stoke to sort out several broken and loose spokes . Very Disappointed by ROUKES aftersales who tried initially to charge me when I had only ridden around 200 Miles , Bike 1 month old . They only seemed interested when selling the bike and seem to be unable/uninterested to carry out warranty work. After third ...

    The Specialized Allez bike is awesome. I have already done several long distance charity rides (two over 100 miles) and it's so comfortable and it's fast. I had tried about 6 other bikes (all recommended) in this price range and this is a mile ahead of the competition!

    The sports edition (with 27 gears) makes a big difference when doing long distances and especially up hills, I always use to struggle on hills but now I think it's because my previous bike was crap (which wasn't a cheapo from ...

    As a new starter to cycling (charity ride), I learned very quickly that its not just a case of hop on a bike and whizz off to Paris. Having initially trained on a Raleigh Air Lite 100 and upgrading to the Specialized Allez 27, it was like a Fiesta to a Ferrari upgrade. I didnt think a bike could be "responsive". The middle chain ring is a godsend, Cyclist I know were saying "high cadence and not low gears which I didnt understand until i had this bike. The 27 gives you the best of both world ...

    Fast, VERY responsive - like a sports car - but be careful - almost twitchy and your shoes CAN hit the front wheel on a relatively sharp turn because of the short wheelbase.

    However, difficulty fitting - stem does not adjust. Uncomfortable stock seat - need gel seat.

    WOW - I had only ridden 30 year old Schwinn Continentals - big bikes, long wheelbase. The Specialized Allez bike is SUCH a blast to ride - and I am 61! So much more responsive and FAST - see 30 regularly. Good ride and responds ...

    I bought this road bike in the sales to replace my old carrera. It's a much better bike lighter, stronger, and faster. The first thing I noticed is how comfortable it is, its much better than my old bike and I can ride for hours in comfort.
    The biggest problem is the wheelset. Seriously poor. After two rides I had to take the front wheel back to the shop as the spokes were so loose. I used to work in a bike shop and this is not the quality I expect from specialized! The bike shop managed to s ...

    It's no point commenting on things like tyres or handlebar tape as these are easily replaced. The frame and wheels are what you need to look at. The aluminum frame is stiff due to well designed tubing shape. I commute 140 miles a week and I haven't had any problems with it. It is a fast reliable bike. Perfect for general riding and training. I have upgraded the wheels since I bought it two years ago. Aluminum has a fatigue life of around 5 years depending on how much you use it. Steel is good bu ...

    I have to agree with the other reviewer about the spokes on my front wheel. After only 200km on the bike the front spokes became very loose to a point where I had to head straight to a cycly shop to get it fixed. Best advice would be to ask for them to be manually checked/trued before you leave the shop.

    I bought the Specialized Allez to replace an awful claud butler veluta that practically fell to bits within 6 months. I cycle 50Km per day so needed something lightweight, durable and reliable. The allez seemed to fit the bill. The bike is a dream to ride - I can't ride the CB anymore and now realise how bad it was. Gears are smooth and reliable, braking is good though not as good as on my trek hybrid - but they just stop almost instantly! Carbon forks make for a smooth ride as shocks from the r ...
