This is an Allez I picked up for cheap last year. Its 7.9kg right now. Fairly pleased with that in its current spec:

Allez Comp frame and fork (not a carbon steerer)
303 Front, 404 Rear, tubs. (I also use Ksyrium Elites now and again)
S-Works crank w/ power2max and Q-Rings, 52-36.
Shimano 105 5700 10s
Zipp SL-80 40cm bar with 130mm Zipp service course stem

Rides alright, not super stiff but does the job. Have a few other bikes and projects which are a bit more exciting but this is one of my favourites to rip around on.

Thanks guys!

A few potential updates:

I have a DA9000 group that needs a replacement lefthand leaver then I can use that.
I have some Ti skewers I can use but I keep the Zipp skewers on these wheels.
here's a big one, Enve fork, should drop at least a couple hundred grams, if I can get one cheap enough...
I also have a 303 rear on the way.

I have a 2015 Tarmac S-Works frame I am picking up on Friday, might sell it on though as I am very happy with this.

Just building a 2011 Allez as my winter bike with a Chorus mix & Kysriums. That crappy Mindset headset has got to go!
