Strengths: Mine came with solid 105 components, great stock saddle, the double crankset worked wonders.Weaknesses: No places for panniers (which most people don't need for this bike anyway).Bottom Line: Great bike! I used my Allez Elite Double on two trans-am trips, and I have no complaints. This isn't a traditional touring bike, I went on supported trips, but I enjoyed riding every minute on it. The double crankset was enough for me to cross the mountains twice. If you're looking for a fun bike to ride regularly with groups, or do some racing, I think it's a great and dependable bike. I can't recommend it enough.

Strengths: Realiable as gravity. Solid as a rock. Sure footed as a mountain goat.Weaknesses: Brakes are weak, but if you are like me...just don't use them.Bottom Line: Been riding her up and down hills in the Ozarks (Arkansas). The double takes some getting use to for someone who lost his virginity on a triple. Though after you get the feel of her you can stand up on the big wheel (53 teeth) and she sails up any hill. I'd wager you can't buy a better bike at twice the price...please someone prove me wrong. Mechanics are flawless (105) and never need anything but minor lube and adjustment every 6 months.
Favorite Ride: When I have no destination...
Price Paid:
$800.00
Purchased At: Ebay
Similar Products Used: Only a Trek 400 which is old skool in comparison.
Bike Setup: All stock except for Michelan Krylons and double application of handle bar tape.

Strengths: Smooth, comfortableWeaknesses: Seat may be a little firm but not bad really.Bottom Line: Purchased 2010 Allez Elite recently and am very pleasantly surprised at how great a bike this. Nimble, comfortable, smooth, couldn't ask for much more. Strongly recommended. If you live near Seattle, Bicycles West in Tukwilla is a good place to buy your bike.

Strengths: Frame and the baseline component set of Shimano 105, even though I upgraded the rear derailleur.Weaknesses: Came with a Sugino crankset that had issues with getting torque settings. LBS work with Specialized and replaced it with better FSA crankset.Bottom Line: Solid bike for the money. I did upgrade the rear derailleur, brakes and wheels. I like the feel of the frame and the carbon fork and seatpost dampen the road noise. This is a solid ride that I enjoy each and every time I ride. I have owned the bike for one and a half years now and have put 6000 miles on it.

Strengths: Shimano 105's front & back are outstanding, light weight and great features for price.Weaknesses: generic brakes may need an upgrade soonBottom Line: Awesome bike. Shimano 105 front & rear deraileurs are great. Light weight, especially for the price. This is my first road bike, and have been riding it for over a year...this bike will last me for many years.
Have read many complaints about ALX wheels, but have experienced no problems as of yet.
