Have a fantastic Spesh Allez 09. The only minor niggle with it is the sora gear changers. So if i went to my LBS and asked for the bike to be changed to Tiagra would this be a possibillity? i.e. Having the little paddle thing on the brake to change gear whilst still on the drops which Sora doesnt have!

entirely possible, but costly.

Tiagra is 9 speed, Sora is eight, so you couldn't just change the shifters (which would cost about £100 + anyway) you'd have to change the whole groupset apart from the brakes.

If it's 8 speed Sora you'd probably just need to change the cassette and chain too. The rear mech will be fine, the front too. If the chainrings are 8 speed specific (i.e original Sora 8 speed) then you'd need to change this too but not many manufacturers make chainrings that are 8,9 and 10 speed compatible now - it's only the thickness of the teeth that varies not the thickness of the ring itself.
