Steel Specialized Allez (or similar) frame

Posted on
  • I’m not sure why but I’ve got a groupset waiting for a frame and my current urge is to put it on an old steel Allez. I doubt there are many knocking around these days but if you don’t ask…

    Could also be interested in something of a similar pedigree and vintage (eg a steel Trek or Giant road bike). 55cm square or thereabouts.

  • Hi, I've got a Giant Peloton lite which might be up for sale. It's '93 vintage, not high end Italian but is a pretty looking steel frame with good geometry. I've been riding it over the last year and it handles very nicely (compared to my Colnago C50 so it's been in good company).
    I've just put a brand new headset on it and haven't even finished putting it back together yet. I'd have to check size, I think it's a 54.
    If you are interested I'll check measurements.

  • Oooh thanks for the reply. Funnily enough I’ve spent quite a bit of time looking at old Giant Pelotons since I posted this thread and they’re pretty cool, though I’m not sure what the difference is between a Lite and a Superlite (they look like the same frame so maybe it was just a spec difference?). A 54 may be on the small side given the geometry but I’m certainly interested in seeing a pic/finding out more. I also should have said in the opening post that a) I’m in Bristol and b) I’m only after a frameset.

  • I'll DM you
