A friend of mine had this exact frame in red (IIRC) It was hideously light! Very high-end frame. GLWS

It's a lovely frame and as you say, very light - built up with some decent wheels it'd be great! Shame it see it wasted in the shed!

I always get confused with Specialized bikes - what sort of human size does 54cm translate to?

I have a friend looking for a geared bike and yours looks clean.

I take it it has been around the block a few times since most of the original parts have been changed?

Cheers

Yeah I think the frame was pretty well used by the PO – I picked it up as frame only to give road riding a go (again) only to find out (again) that it’s not for me. The actual components haven’t seen much use though, the 105 groupset is in great condition (someone was upgrading to Dura Ace on a CAAD frame I believe), the rear wheel was brand new 200ish miles ago, the brakes have seen about 200 miles as well, headset (cost me a fortune) was new at the same time, contact points were just cheap things to get me going really. Bang some Chinese carbon wheels on and your choice of contacts and it’d be a weapon.

I can have a proper measure of it this weekend but as you say they do come up a little odd, I find it comfortable at 6’1 but my friend who is 5’11 finds it too small for him (he rides a 56 usually). I can’t seem to find a geometry chart online for this specific model.

I picked up a similar bike ,in red, a Specilised Allez Elite E5 SLX . Shimano equiped for £120.
Good ride.

Sounds like you got yourself a absolute steal. I paid more than that for just the frame!

Happy to take it today at £120 ;-)

This still there?

Still here for sale.
