Hi there,

Im a newbie to this forum, have been an avid lurker for a while so though it would join up

This is my second road bike but my first carbon one. I have been commuting, riding and doing sportives on my trusty Specialized Allez for the past couple years but wanted to upgrade as plan on doing some crits this year. I bought the frame from Tri Uk in Yeovil and specced everything else from off the shelf. Here it is....

Great weight for a stock bike.

Now you have come to the dark side... what are the weight loss plans?

And you can call me Macktastik Honey Pete Kicks, thank you.

Thanks For the welcome.....

Got a few things in mind to get the weight down.......have a set of Ultremo ZX's and some Latex innertubes so that might shave off a bit.

I know the saddle isnt exactly a lightweight but its one that i get on with so am reluctant to change this at the moment.........im guessing wheels would be the obvious upgrade to drop the weight, any other suggestions people????
