Specialized Allez Sprint Comp Disc
Has anyone got any experience of the Specialized Allez Sprint Comp Disc? I'm in the market for a new road bike, disc brakes are a must for me and I'd like to to be pretty racy/agressive. The Allez Sprint disc looks the part but there aren't many reviews available

And, bonus, you can get rid of feed zones - just make them carry all their supplies in the basket.

Looks a nicely specc'd bike 105 groupset, hydro brakes wide, tyre capability. I noticed it has a braze on derailleur, so might limit you if want to change size of crankset. But why would you, if its an fast road bike.

Thanks! It's nice to see more than just a few static images.
I've found that braze on derailleur mounts still tend to have enough range to be able to switch between a semi compact 52-36 and a proper 50-34 compact. I've got a more 'all-purpose' bike (GT Grade carbon 105) so this would don't really need any greater flexibility for this and the 52-36 would be my choice if i was choosing the components myself
I'd probably stick some deeper section carbon wheels - nothing too fancy but probably something along the lines of Hunt's 50mm deep rims or prime's deeper rims - and keep the stock wheels for one of my other bikes.
The trek emoda alr 5 would seem to be another good option and seems highly rated but on purely aesthetic grounds it doesn't really 'look' racy, and if I'm going to go for an agressive bike I at least want it to look the part (well, until my rotund carcass gets on it at least).
