Got the bike back yesterday and started hanging parts on it.

Looks great, out of curiosity how much did much did the decals and clear coat add. !!

The clear coat and decals added 51g back on.

You still lost 8g, better than nothing, and the frame looks awesome now, well done. !!

I put 90 miles on the bike in the last 2 days... feels great and looks great. The DA groups with the link cables is just so sweet, so crisp.





and snapped one next to my friend's Team Astana S-Works Venge.

Another 40 miles on the Allez today... loving this bike.

[CLEAR]

Well done... nicely put together..

The Allez looks better than the Venge!

The Allez looks better than the Venge!

hahaha... thanks. They're both lookers, IMO.

I cleaned both bikes last week and when I found some free time this morning, I decided to pack up the bikes and do full photoshoots for each of them.

[CrankAddictsRich]

I had the Allez out for some races in the last 2 weeks...

2 weeks ago, I did the High Point Hill Climb TT, finishing 6th in my class.





This past weekend, I raced the NJ State Crit, Cat 5 race. I finished 9th.

Great bike and even nicer to see how happy (and successful) you are with it!

[CrankAddictsRich]

And this is my new weapon... so pumped for next year.
