201x Specialized Allez Sprint DSW and Gen2

Besides fly6, is there other option for light and cam combo?

[magikcat]

quick question, will the seatpost clamp/bracket accepts 9mm saddle rails?

You will have to buy Specialized's carbon rail clamps...but other than that it works great.

Does anyone know if a Tarmac SL3 fork will work with this?

I picked mine up second hand and need to raise the bars, but have zero room in the chopped steerer

I have seen a used SL3 fork for not a lot with plenty of tube for me to play with.

I don't believe so. I believe the SL3 fork has 1 1/8" bearings top and bottom. The Allez Sprint has size specific forks/lower bearing sizes like the SL5 tarmac.

Is the Allez 1 1/8" to 1 3/8" Tapered?

What a pain. This is looking like an expensive exercise.

[twistywizard]

Tapered from 1 1/2" bottom to 1 1/8"

I think that is correct actually.

It depends on the size of your frame. My 52s are 1 1/8" to 1 1/4" I believe. 54 & 56s are 1 1/8" to 1 1/2" I think.

Might I suggest a different solution to your problem. Try out one of the 'Hover' bars to raise your position without needing to buy a new fork. If you want to experiment on the cheap look at the aluminum ones this will give you 15mm more stack without having to get a new fork. If you want aero and more stack you can go with this

I run a 52.

Ohh forgot about them. That’s a good idea. Thank you. I don’t need a huge amount. 15mm should do it I reckon.

Not a problem.....as an aside if your fork is any color other than black you will probably have a hard time getting a replacement one. All the more reason to try and figure out a way to make that one work.

Has anyone seen any pictures of the matte black/graffiti LTD frame? I am considering getting another Sprint and that is the only frame only available in my size. Torn between one of those and the brushed silver model. I got one of the first run gold ano ones, didn't end up racing due to health issues, and traded it for what should be a nicer bike, but am still missing it and want to get back to racing next year.

Search Instagram for the #allezsprint tag. A couple come up. Personally I'd go for the polished frame.

Here it is... I think it is pretty bad-ass, personally.



and a close-up.

The fork colors look way better in the picture you posted than the Specialized stock photo. Still torn on that or the silver. I wonder if they will have another LTD run after those are sold too. I don't really need the bike til March, although if I want that color I gotta get one now.

A Sagan Superstar frame just came up in my size in a bike swap that I'm in. Pre-drilled for Di2 also. Tempting.
