This bike is highly addictive , I own two, disc and rim version, and I have ridden many carbons. For some reason, I prefer the Allez sprint over anything else. While it is categorized as a crit, I have done several +100km rides , including climbs and flats, and it still feels comfy. Few points to increase comfort based on owning these bikes for the past three years and thousands of KM's, get a really good tubeless set up (28c and able to run 65psi), saddle (ti rails) and carbon bars with something like supacaz tapes. These combined provide excellent vibration absorption. One the drive train front, 1X rocks on these bikes, I run absolute black ovals and for SRAM AXS flattop chains, Garbaruk aero chain rings...suggestions that take this frame to a Dope-level.
sick build!!!! yea I have a bunch of guys who only ride this bike form the moment they first rode it. They made it there daily and I have done a couple 100 mile rides with them while they were on there and they had 28c tires on there, and once riding for so long there bodies will obviously adapt to the bike and it wont be such a big deal once riding more and more...... but yes I agree with how nice they are :))
Hi thereI ride a 2007 928L Bianchi myself. But I'm looking for a race geometry yet not to expensive all around bike. I do long group rides and planning to race again. Do you recommend me this Allez Sprint? I would use 2x . Thanks in advance
@@aldrinclementina4297 I would suggest using geometrygeeks to compare your current bike to the allez. This way you can align the geometry and know how much different Geo you are going to be dealing with. Then start the build. Spend the extra money on good carbon wheels and tires. If you are looking for an all round bike, stay in the 40-55mm run depth, tubeless, or at least latex inner tunes. (tubolitos if you want to splurge). Need any more ideas, ping me here. Good luck
yea it is the meta for sure, especially when its not needed, I can make the stand on whether or not to do it if I lived in a hilly area but when there is nothing around, whats the point
Funny I said the same thing when I bought mine. People that love the Allez, LOVE them! People that hate them...HATE them, in fact they go out of their way to hate them I feel. BUT I think they make a ton of sense, they're strong, aero, easily customizable and really fun to ride. I would agree that my Allez Sprint is the last bike I'll need to buy complete...I'll probably buy the same frame if I ever need to.
I’m so damn lucky I was able to track down a rim brake version of this bike back in September for a generous discount as well. Gloss Moto Orange also, best color!
Orange with the black fork? Sweet! The way to go! That’s a really old colour where did you manage to find it? It’s almost impossible to fetch here in Europe
@@flooooooo0686 A bike shop a couple states away had a few of them available to rent, I contacted the owner and asked if they would be willing to sell me one. Luckily they were planning on updating the entire lineup of rental bikes with new Specialized bikes with disc brakes so they agreed. I got it at a very good discount, especially compared to the price of a new 2020 one with disc brakes.
I own a 58cm black Allez Sprint. Use it mainly for KOM-sniping and fast rides. Super stiff bike. The money I saved buying an Alu frame I put into 88mm clinchers. It makes an already good looking bike even prettier. Highly recommended if you are on a budget.
The colour on this Allez is probably the best I've seen. I like it. Its smooth but still flashy but not loud, hahaha. One of my favkurite bikes for sure! Although, I'm more of a rim brake fan!
I know me too thats what im hoping is that they are changing some designs on it and making it a redesign, maybe a fully integrated headset for the allez sprint?!!?!!?!? that would be cool
@@GCPerformance18 If they want to do that (fully integrated headset), I don't want them to limit us to one cockpit. I want them to do it like how they did for the Venge V3 and Tarmac SL7 (no cockpit choice restrictions).
I like to race crits and built up a S-Works Tarmac. At this point in really don’t wanna crash it so I’m looking for one of these to race on. Such a nice bike
Sweet Build, I picked up a 2018 Rim, size 58, all 105, except Praxis crankset for group rides..Love it more.than my Felt TT bike. It's a joy to ride.. Love your vids, keep em coming.
yea....... it sucks so bad right now you might be lucky and find one in stock because we are getting bikes in stock randomly but to otrder specifically, hell no
YAYYYYYY!!!! congrats on the new bike!! your going to love it. enjoy the bike and have fun putting some miles on there :)) thanks so much for watching and supporting like always
I got mine on a frame warranty replacement from a rim frame failure. Super stiff and snappy even when setup as a single speed, not even trying to be a weight weenie 18lb with Dt Swiss wheels and not tubeless!
That is one sexy bike, hands down one of the best bikes......I have one a 2019 Satin Black with bright green pattern....I'm thinking of upgrading to SRAM AXS 1x from an Ultegra Di2....What BB do you recommend for my application? Thanks...
anything sram dub is a really nice bb very solid and cheap but they spin amazing!!! you want something expensive then ceramic speed middle range go wheels manufacture machined bb
@@GCPerformance18 i live New York but would buy it from you and have you build it ; i respect people like you who are passionate about their craft ; much respect! Please forward me your shop address etc.
I got a caad 9 rim brake rim brake dura ace used on e bay upgraded the cockpit wheels and shifters. All in total $1400.00. I throw on my enve 5.6 tubeless wheels for fast group rides.
very nice!!! im sure you scooped up those enves for cheap, I have been seeing then used on there for somewhat cheap in still good condition but the cadd is always a nice bike
i don't understand why Specialized limit production of this sweet frameset every year. they can double/triple production numbers and it will still sell out.
yea it makes no sense and they always seeem to have a massive amount of bikes in stock which no one wants and then make limited quanitites of bikes no one wants
I live in Canada and the only one they have is the TRACK frameset, I have been waiting for half a year for the new one to come out and then I saw this video. Anyone know where I can buy one? Full build or just the frameset, Thank You!!!.
How flat is Florida's terrain? A lot of your customer's bike set up is 1 by, which makes me curious if it is flat enough to ride a TT bike for commuting XD. And it is almost impossible to ride a 1x bike here in Southern California, elevation gain is insane here.
sram makes it more easier to go 1x which is the more preferred setup for Florida, and unfortunately shimano doesnt have a 1x road setup kit that doesn't look trash with there stock cranks so usually someone would have to buy a new crank with the bike to make it a 1x that actually looks nice....... but I think its pretty split down the middle
@@GCPerformance18 I’m out in Vegas and since watching your videos, I’ve been keeping an eye out for how many 1x set ups we have. All the ones I’ve seen have been Sram. (At least on the road) I will agree that Shimano 1x gravel/mtn bike set up doesn’t look as nice as ultegra or even 105
Got my hands on this frame a few weeks back. Building it up w/ Force and Hunt 54s. I’m super excited! What do I need for the BB? Any way to go threaded?
Yea but they are way big, I mean there base model Allez has way more cleaner welding marks, they just heavily increased those points to add stiffness to the bike
For a 1x, I prefer SRAM etap because shifting is balanced between both hands. With a Shimano 1x setup, your right-hand does all the shifting. #carpaltunnel

Looks sweet as a mothereffer. But did you really say the BB on this isn't threaded? The only reason pressfit is a thing because with carbon to have threads you need to have metal bits (and that creates many challenges). So they made a metal frame and turned it into crap... Those cats at Spesh must be high as fuck.
yes this has been lke this since the beginning of the bike, I think maybe next year they are working on a newer model and im gona say I think they are going to make it threaded, and maybe integrated headset

this was a size 58 frame and I think the customers weight was around 185-195

Yes for sure
Tarmac SL7 pro Etap vs building up the Allez Sprint. Which would you prefer despite the ~$1000 difference.
I love the tarmac sl7 I’m sorry. If you can get one get the tarmac

yea it makes no sense and they always seeem to have a massive amount of bikes in stock which no one wants and then make limited quanitites of bikes no one wants

super flat, like there is no elevation here at all in south florida, we have bridges for a climb but thats about all
Zwift isn't flat though ... Maybe another chainring might be helpful there 🤪
What would cost be if you build it for customer? 6-7g?
yea probably around the 5500-6k mark depending on finishes including bar and stem and saddle
@@GCPerformance18 thank you! Love it. Why is front and rear rotor different looking?
Does specialized make a cover for the unused cable hole in the down tube? (just above the logo on the drive side)
I believe they do if not im sure someone has made on for it, but I think they do sell them, call your local bike shop and ask them
Did you ever find a place to purchase the stem cap for the SL7 stem?
You need to buy the whole specialized tarmaf headset assembly with it
I wonder what’s the difference in Sram and Shimano that your shop sees. Seems like Florida likes Sram.

very nice combo, best of both worlds

How tall are you (for a frame 58)? Thanks in advance
6ft1 to 6'3
Focus on your inseam and not your height...
I don't think those are reinforcement welds, more simple joint welds, since it's an aluminium frame

www.topeak.com/global/en/products/display-stands/345-lineup--stand
right here my friend
Which is best gruppo? SRAM or Shimano?
lmao
thats a preference problem right there, depends on what makes you feel most comfortable and what you think rides better for you
That is like asking which one is better, rim or disc. There are pros and cons of each grouppo.
For a 1x, I prefer SRAM etap because shifting is balanced between both hands.
With a Shimano 1x setup, your right-hand does all the shifting. #carpaltunnel
The rear wheel is an inch taller?
the depth of the rear rim is 60mm and the front wheel rim depth is 51mm
