Yes, I know it's Specialized, yes, it's an Allez, but to put it simply, it's the nicest thing I've ever had and I've finally finished it so suck it!

Got a fairly good deal on an Allez comp buildup, Ultegra 9 Speed set up which I stripped off and came with some old Shimano wheels, also gone. Had some Aksiums to put on it, and everything was looking shiny and good when I found out the twatting spokes were seized....

Got a really good deal on a DA 7900 groupset (Hence, the nicest thing I've ever had!) from HMA (Props dude, it's fucking lush!) and now had no wheels to ride on. Not fucking pleased.

Anyhow, put on a wheelset (Properly nasty) that I had lying around the place to give it a go, rather liked it, but it all came together at the jumble sale last Saturday. Picked up a lush set of Torelli wheels and did a very naughty thing and got some carbon integrated stem/bars.

Anyhow, she's now finished, took her on a first proper ride today (GPS took me off road hence the mud) but she's now pretty much finished bar some minor tweaking and I have to say, rides absolutely lovely!

Using it as a daily ride at the mo though, due to a lack of tarck bike. Got fucked over at the jumble and the frame I bought turned out to be fooked, but I've got this so the pain's a little less!

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

> Quote text by starting lines with >

Mention another user by @username

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```
Your code goes here
```
Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
