Pictures of your Bike

So, I figured that no bicycle forum would be complete without pictures of bikes! Post your photos here, no bike will be refused: Road TT Triathlon Cyclocross MTB BMX Shixie Fixie And anything else! Lovely bikes lovely, but everyday bikes interesting too. I won't post first, but I'm taking pictures right now.  1 I wanna see what bikes you're all riding!

If you're new please join in and if you have questions pop them below and the forum regulars will answer as best we can.

I've got the same bike, though 105, I wondered what mods you'd made. I've swapped the wheels for RS80s

As it's now a sticky I thought I would add further to the thread.

Here is my infamous Allez which is now my winter / bad weather bike.

I was in the youth bit but now i'm a junior so i'm too old. It said in the contract to give it beack or pay half price for it but i didn't have to for some reason.

** Insert picture of standard 2012 Specialized Allez Compact in Black and Grey here **

I know it's slightly boring, but I like it whilst i'm learning. Maybe there should be a "my next bike will be a....." thread?

Nowt wrong with an Allez Lob... Cracking bike, had mine for donkeys and still difficult to better.
You may have a newer, 'better' bike later but you will always look back and sometimes think 'why the hell did I get rid of my Allez' I'm sure there's a song title in the making there.

Yes from the 2011 model on they have same geometry as Tarmac.

Nothing wrong with the Allez which is why I posted a picture of my 2010 model here.

I nearly went for a Raleigh myself, but the Allez felt the most comfortable of the ones I tried in the shop.

I'm very happy with it, like the feel, seems responsive and a good all round road bike at my level. I can see why some people may find Specialized a little "boring" but can also see why they are such a popular bike. I will post a pic of mine when I get round to it, but would already consider getting another Spesh when it comes time to get another bike  3

Will be keeping the Allez as long as I can though  1

You have your bars dropped low!? That why them hands are suffering. Love your bike though

funny you should mention the bars, normally its the seat that gets the queries!

I was finding the position to be really comfy actually, until someone noticed the saddle and then it was a real annoyance!

i think the 23cc tyres @ 115psi could have been a contributing factor to tired hands, that and many consecutive 15hr days in the saddle!

but it is a great bike to ride, really enjoyed our time together and would thoroughly recommend - got a few disdainful comments about Raleighs to start off with, but as a bike maker they have got much better again!

*disclaimer - I am from Nottingham so I believe I am contractually obliged to say nice things about Raleigh
