Specialized Edition Allez Sprint 2X

Picked mine up today, size 58 with the Crank swapped out for a Rotor Inpower and with pedals, K-Edge XL Garmin mount is 7.95Kg. Will save a bit more removing the plastic disc from the rear wheel, don't know why the LBS left it there....

@IamnotWiggins - is there a particular way to keep the polished silver finish in good condition? any special cleaning techniques?
@emcardle - yup, it's a 49 with a ridiculously short 80mm stem that comes with the bike.
@Fixie82 - no special cable routing. The bike shop just used the shortest housing possible as you can see below.
Dude, what's your height? I ordered size 49cm frame too.
@marcello - to be honest, i can't give a definitive answer because ride quality is significantly affected by wheels. the allez came with roval 64s while the caad is on fulcrum racing zeros. So my allez feels really good on fast and steady rides while the caad is good for crit-like rides (constant short and brutal accelerations).
both bike geometries are quite similar and both are plenty stiff so you can't really go wrong with either a caad or allez.
