......... the Specialized Allez.. I bought one when I went back to cycling on my 64th birthday, that is 10 years ago. The hard core cyclists would call it an entry level bike as it costs less than a £1000.
I also have 3 other bikes, all more expensive than the Allez but every time I ride it again, I really enjoy my ride and the feel of the bike.
Don't get me wrong, I also enjoy the other three but when I ride the Allez, it makes me think that it is not always necessary to spend lots of money to get a good bike and if I had to, I would be very happy to get another one. I think they retail at £799. What a bargain !

My 2013 Allez Sport is still my favourite bike.

In fact if you search this forum you will find a similar thread with a similar thread title I posted a couple of years back.
