Last "Alize"… now due to "red s company" complain name has been changed for Nazare…
Basically new is frameset and stem/handlebar combo. Rest is transplanted from my "old" BMC GF01 (sold have $pac€ only for 2 bikes … ) . Idea was to have road bike with aero frame which I could use after small modifications as TT bike. NP is supplying 78* seatpost so I couldn't resist it

I can be wrong, and have plenty of examples for that

I had Specialized (Crux) - changed for BH (RXone) and 1st feel was "i'm flying"
For me biggest value of Alize is versatility : road bike, and within minutes TT bike. Plus bike feels really incredible- very responsive nd very stabil. Not so comfy as BMC GF01, but that wasn't under any consideration- however 85 km on 1st & 135km done on 2nd day on bike without any issues with comfort.
Big plus is that I can easy build TT bike under 7kg not spending tons of money ( saddle, bar, cables, pedals... will give approx 300-400g of saving or can be equalized by rear disc wheel … for +- 1€ per gram ). Going extreme ( in my means, not even close to many people means here ) I can have huge trouble to be 6.8 , below 6 is very achievable .
Changing wheels for tubulars , groupset for Red/ Record plus small bits mentioned above , plus rear disc , front 80-90mm and I'm easy , below 6.8kg… still having road bar + TT clip ons !
With Powertap ( on Hed Jet disc ) it will be bit above 6.8kg pretty good for "TT"
Next thing is uniqueness : here you have Cervelo, Shiv on "every corner" . I won't even mention Tarmacs or Venge's . I'm the only one with NeilPryde

Thanks !
In real life looks waay better than on images. And rides better than looks .
"black" is not black, is just raw CF ( like on BMC ) but with satin matt clearcoat. The only one thing is "to fix" : TT seatpost comes only as "glossy" finish ( Alize were as matt in blue and glossy in red )- frameset ( and "normal" post ) is satin matt, so I'm thinking about re-coating it. Just need to find car-paintshop which is making "CC spray's with hardener".
Frame is Di2/EPS ready - so will be no issues (hope) with it - that change is forced by "need/want" shifting on extensions, not sti only - otherwise I would stay mechanical here.

you're right : now it's Nazare… Specialized complained (Alize-Allez sounds to close for them…)
78*seatpost + clip-ons with extensions will make "poor man TT" or you can call it "perfect multisport 1-bike setup"
