S-Works Allez 54cm (6.4kg)

This is sad.
Should have got clinchers...

Definitely should have got clinchers!

I'll build another HH weenie bike some day but at the moment I'm trying to juggle getting back to playing some music, surfing and also moving to a new home that will only facilitate one bike forbspace reasons (going to have to leave my mountain bike at the office and keep it in the car when I want to use it) and I always end up reaching for my Koga Miyata MGOF build so it's better for this to go to a good home!

Hilariously I probably ought to have kept the bottle cages and saddle (maybe the groupset too but then where do I stop for?) for a future build and it's the cages that have the most dibs at the moment 😅

second dibs on Derailleurs/ Brifters

This thread is an excellent read, good luck with the sale!!!

@Nahguavkire, I've had a little ponder about things and I'm going to undibs for the brakes and let @Tomalex have them.

I'm still 100% in for the QR skewers.

Cheers Joe, if you’re sure you really don’t want them I’ll put my name to them, but don’t say no just for me!

To be honest I've just dropped my phone so the £100 now needs to be spent on repairing the screen! They're all yours @Tomalex

Duly noted!

Had a ponder on it and I've dropped the price on the frame to roughly what it cost me (and the complete price to reflect same)...

No other price drops anticipated so last bump.

Just checking in, will you tag those of us with a dibs, or drop a DM if split is happening?
GLWS regardless!

Yep, I'll DM everyone with dibs and tags in a post to confirm once the time comes!

Have you decided to keep this and ride it yet? (You should)

Hahaha I have not! I probably should alright but I also have a bunch of other things at the moment that I need to focus on and not enough hours in the day for all of them!

I'm just going to bite the bullet and start parting this out... I'll DM all current dibs this morning and I'm open to bundle discounts and sensible offers on remaining items...

All items paid for have been shipped and I think I've messaged everyone with tracking details now, if not drop me a PM to remind me please.

Remainder of the items are still available if they haven't been marked as sold.

Price drop on frame and wheels...

Price drop on wheels and frame before advertising elsewhere. Happy to do a bundle deal on remaining items too...

Pm'd cheers

Ahem.

Excellent account, enjoyed that no end. Funny how there were basically no S-Works there and those that were were priced higher than this one though.

I take it you're not interested in buying?

This frame is one of the only that warrants a bit of overpricing. compare it to ( similarly specced ) alloy framesets such as caad 12s, rrp is not far off their asking price

Well, I like aluminium frames and ride, amongst others, a 2013 TCR SL1 (and 2009 Cervélo S1 when I'm at my folks). I certainly rate them more than a lot of carbon bikes of similar vintage. I also paid £960 for the Giant (cheaper than trade), new bike, carbon seatpost, full Ultegra groupset, a bit shop-soiled but really because the only aluminium bike people wanted to buy was a CAAD.

I just cannot see an 8 years old aluminium Allez frame selling for a grand, even if it's a limited edition one. I guess the market will decide, GLWS!

I think we sort of agree, i could present my case : my road bike is a 20 year old caad r700 frame which i paid 120£. i kitted it with a dura ace groupset and the total build cost is 900£.... and so on and so on.
The carbon version of your giant tcr barely sells for 300 on ebay because people just don't like it anymore. however, the ISP rabobank so often posted on here would be fiercely contested in a sealed bid auction : )

more to the point, that s-woks does not belong on the allez sprint insta page !

Ok, I'm going to list the frame for sale elsewhere but the other parts are still for sale here if anyone is keen?

Frame sold 🥲
