For Sale: Specialized Allez Steel £150 Retro 1990s

This is a Specialized Allez from 1991, in a rather vivid red/pink. The paint has faded in places, and there are a few odd rust spots, but no dings/dents or structural problems.

The groupset is Shimano 105 SC, and it all works fine; new cables and brake blocks. Rides very well.

Frame - Specialized Direct Drive Crmo - 56ctc top tube, 55 ctt seat tube. I'm 6' and it's a tad too small for me. Would suit someone 5'8"-5"11".

Groupset - all Shimano 105 SC, in very good condition. The front hub is Shimano 600.

Stem - ITM 70mm (short stem to compensate for the long top tube) (25.4)

Bars - SR Sakae Custom 40 ctc (25.4)

Rims - Wolber TX Profil

Tyres - Continental Gatorskin 23c, used, but plenty of life left.

Not sure of saddle, seat post. Saddle is comfortable, seat post is 27.2.

Everything works great, ride away, needs nothing.

£150 with crappy plastic pedals, if you've got a set of pedals to use. (top photograph)
£160 with MKS Sylvan Track pedals, black plastic clips (or I've got some steel Christophe ones you can have), and white toes straps.

Water bottle not included.

Collection from Leyton, East London, or I can probably deliver to Hackney, Stratford etc.

Hey man going to put it out there and dibs it, will be in touch in the next couple of hours!

I'll be in London Fields from about 5.30 this evening, so if anyone in Hackney is interested, pm for my number.

2nd dibs please

There have been a few PMs, and dibs things, but no-one has arranged to see the bike. I'm free all today and most of the weekend, so if anyone wants to meet up, please PM.

right, you'll receive a call in a bit. The missus is interested.

good deal, nice looking bike that. Like the wishbone on the rear stays. Nice.

Would you be willing to post this?

I'd rather not post, as I'd like the purchaser to see the bike in person, to make sure it's what they want.

Sold.
