OK im looking to upgrade my SCR3 next spring, due to the endlist problems Ive had with it - just want something a bit lighter/better groupset/flasher I guess.
Main mistake I made with the SCR3 was ordering online, so I couldnt really go back to the manufacturer and try to get money back when things go wrong - apparently Giant are a biatch to get hold of/money out of.
So my next bike Im gonna learn from my mistakes and buy from a shop. One of my lbs's is a specialized dealer, and I was looking at the allez elite 09 model. It seems to be a nice bike for my price range, with this years model having a 105 groupset compared to the tiagra(?) of last years model.
Has anyone got any thoughts on this model, or any others I should be considering in the sub 1000 price range? I know the focus bikes on wiggle look good but I dont want to go down the route of an online dealer.
