Specialized Allez C2


New bike!

It's been a very long time since the last post and I think it's time I put up an update. I recently bought a new bike, a Specialized Allez C2. It's a great bike and I really enjoy riding it. For an entry level road bike it is very light and handles extremely well. It's stiff and responsive, it flies down hills...And back up. I was lucky to buy the bike during the promotion they were offering and I was able to get over $200 worth of upgrades for free, although they did send me 3 tubes that were the wrong size. I received the Specialized wedgie bag, 2 Turbo elite black with white tires, 2 Rib Cage bottle holders, and 3 pre-talc'd Turbo tubes. On a different note, I've been out with the fixed gear for many rides since my last post and I am currently waiting to fix a spoke that I broke on a very bumpy ride. I switched over my cycling computer on to my road bike and it shows quite the difference in speeds compared to my fixed gear. I will post the picture of my Specialized from when I first bought it, but I will try to post another with the upgrades on it. Till then,
