what do you all think off this bike below

Overpriced!! Specialized Elite! A1, Frame, and Tiagra!

Have a look at the 2011 Allez Comp with 105, and an e5, frame, a much better model.

Specialised Allez are really nice bikes. The cube is a better BUY inmho.

Pretty looking bike! Mixed components and the usual GT frame! Your choice! We all like different things.

hi bfergie, what bike would you recommend for 1k..

I looked at the Carrera, but ended up getting this one: http://www.dawescycles.com/p-595-sportif-sl.aspx. You should be able to pick one up now for around £750.00.

I can add a little follow up to this post. I had a 53 or 54 cm Carrera in for a service, 9.8kg!! That's insane for a 105 kitted bike! My 105 kitted Forme carbon is 7.6kg and my alloy Principia is 8.3kg with 105...in fact my alloy cross bike is still 400g lighter than the carbon carrera!! Build quality was okay, finish was good enough for the cash but it's a tank!
