being a very newbe road biker it was a bit daunting thinking about spending about a £1000 on a bike...but hey,what a bike,been out today and have thoroughly enjoyed the bike,looking forward to putting a lot of miles on it..it was a very comfortable ride no saddle issues. The gears were smooth and felt good,

“Brilliant!!!”
★★★★★
written by Greg Mann on 28/08/2011
I have not ridden a bike in several years but have always tried to maintain a level of fitness. When the bike arrived I had a big smile on my face because it just looks superb. I took it for a spin with my wife on her hybrid and found I was frustrated as the bike is begging to speed off but had to keep it slow to maintain wifey speed :( As a smoker (bad I know)I thought I would realy struggle to start with but after my first 8.8 mile ride, I felt great. My second ride, (on my own) I smiled the whole time. It just eats up the miles with ease and I completed a 16.8 mile ride in just over one hour. I got off the bike with slightly jelly legs but after a shower and a cuppa I wanted to go again :) Trust me when I say this bike is worth every penny. I have tried friends bikes out but this is deffo the bike for me. Don't wait......buy it now :) by the way mine is the Allez sport 18

“Specialized Allez Sport Triple 2010 ”
★★★★★
written by frazerjames1979 on 10/09/2010
Specialized Allez Sport Triple 2010
Bought from Hargroves Cycles in Farham Hampshire
GOOD POINTS
- Very well priced
- Excellent Groupset / gear set (full Sora with Tiagra rear mech works vey well)
- Ergonomic handle bars. (very comfortable)
BAD POINTS
- Very cheap plastic pedals with toe clips (need to upgrade to SPD-SL straight away)
- Saddle was uncomfortable for me. (Specialized have a Body Geometry saddle fitting tool to find the perfect saddle for you )
- Seat post difficult to adjust. (the saddle has plenty of adjustment but once its fitted its perfect, just a lot of messing around to get it spot on)
- Slick Tyres (Great in the summer and dry days, but in my opinion, idealy for safety reasons the bike should leave the shop with all weather tyres)
GENERAL COMMENTS
The bike is fantastic for the money and is very smooth and responsive. The Ergonomic handle bars are fantastic and so comfortable, just be carefull when setting off because you can catch your knees on the wide drops.
The pedals are shockingly bad quality, but i suppose all stock pedals are, the first thing to buy is a good set of SPD-SL pedals and some good stiff shoes
Paintwork is Excellent. the specialized logo is painted on and not cheap decals that will peel off over time.
Overall i dont think there is a better bike for the money.

“I bought brand new 2010 Allez Sport Double April 2010....”
★★★★★
written by on 15/08/2010
I bought brand new 2010 Allez Sport Double April 2010. Today is August 2010. So far I ride about 300 km on it and it is awesome bike. It is so comfortable that I always regret when my ride is finished. I am a beginner for road bikes albeit have been biking all my life. This bike is just fantastic to ride, fast, great looking and extremely comfortable. The weight of my bike (56 frame) is 9-9.5 kg according to my home scale.

I have just bought the Specialized Allez Sport Double 2010 Road Bike. I had been commuting 20 miles a day on my Specialized Rockhopper mountain bike for a year. I thought it was time to get a racing bike and all I can say is 'WOW'!!! I love this bike. It is fast, responsive and really stable on the bumpy London roads. The only part I need to change is the seat! I recommend this bike ten times over to anyone wanting to try a racer. Also I bought it from Evans Cycles who were really helpful.

just got this beauty, after looking at many other makes. GLAD i did!! wow is this thing quick & responsive, the only prob i had was the chain ring shifter locked solid, but the shop sorted it asap for me. the only thing u might find with this bike is that people will keep stareing at the big smile on your face when you are on it!! if you are after a bike thats a pleasure to ride, and is quick- then this baby should be at the top of your list... ENJOY :-)

★★★★★
written by on 20/05/2010
Great bit of kit; I thrash mine around the poorly surfaced roads in Shanghai everyday and train medium distance ~140km at weekends. All round best in class for the price and Specialised here in SH give a great service to go with it. Only problems that have already been mentioned in this article are the crappy wheel sets and the hardarse seat. One other thing that should be considered is a change of drivetrain bearings as I have heard form a number of sources that they are notoriously poor in the Allez. I have replaced mine with ABEC-7 SKF bearings.
If your thinking of buying a 1st road bike or a cheaper than carbon training bike that is going to see a lot of hard use then look no further.

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.

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 Hal**rds!)
