2011 Specialized Allez Comp is Ready to Go at Montrose Bike Shop!

[vta1985]

I pronounce it Allez with the z, and sram as s ram. I don't care if that's wrong.

This guy has no idea what he is talking about. This bike is the Light aluminum version of the Tarmac. You can get it in a full sized crank. This bike is the same geometry as a Tarmac. Most all reviews bill it as the race alternative. Stiff Aluminum Allez or lighter less stiff Tarmac. It is not a TRI bike of any sorts. I know several racers and Specialized dealers riding this bike over Tarmac. Lastly it is billed as the winter ride instead of tarmac. I have ultegra. Upgrade your wheels and race.

What do they mean when they say comp?

[zazenzach]

@BlueReishiMan

compact

the crank has a "compact" teethset, theyre better if your gonna be riding on hills and stuff. as opposed to standard cranks and tripple ring cranks

Trying to decide between an Allez and a Secteur. It would be my first road bike, so I guess I would lean towards the Secteur since I'm more of a casual rider, but I would hate to compromise any speed. All other things being equal, how much more speed would I get out of the Allez?

[o0adam0o]

@Trollbaiter A lot more. Its lighter and has faster acceleration. Its also cheaper!

[o0adam0o]

@Trollbaiter But it all depends on how much you ride at once... if you will be ridding less than 15mi all at once then id go for the Comp. If you are the type that does like 20-30+ miles then i would do the comp. Also what is your ridding style? Do you like to ride at a normal pace (Secteur) or blast down the street (Allez comp)? Is there lots of hills where you are ridding (Secteur)?

[o0adam0o]

@Trollbaiter With the Allez you will gain acceleration but give up comfort. However comfort is relative and you can get used to it over time.

I like to go fast at all times and ride mostly flats.. i do like 12miles a day 4 days a week.. the bike is perfect for me.

[cab152]

oo im not a begginer rider but i brooke mi scoot speedster in a race and i cant aford nothing better i think ill buy these one

looks comfortable , fast and looks great

think is the same geometry used in tarmac

@skylark8008 It is great for the beginning Triathlete who doesn't have the money for two different bikes for regular road riding, and triathlons.

[skylark8008]

It is not for Tris!

[GreasyPsycho]

@skylark8008 why not? What stops the bike from being used in a tri? Oh, that's right, nothing.

[skylark8008]

@GreasyPsycho Well a bike is a bike. You could use it for Tri. But Specialized do a Tri specific bike in their range, called the Transition.
