This is my Allez Sprint, just finished building it last month with the intention of taking it abroad to Spain one were allowed and leaving it over there for holiday riding. Really impressed with how they ride even compared to my SL7s

I´d be glad to read the comparison Allez Sprint vs Tarmac SL7, can you please write some?
Thanks

[Ritsuke]

I also have both and do wonder how you experience them both. For me it's a little early to compare - only 300km on the SL7 - so I'll first ride it a bit more.

[Nick38]

I suppose I refer more to how it fits. I find it almost as comfortable as the SL7 (I'm 50 next year, comfort is everything!) but also it's a smooth ride mind it's clearly slower than an SL7 but I think a lot of the SL7 speed comes from the Roval Rapides, simply the best wheelset I've ever ridden

Absolutely love this thing.

Really really

Those that have fitted Di2 does the battery fit ok in the seat post? I know it’s a Venge post is there a proper part for holding it securely in place?

Yep, not an issue.

Do you guys use carbon paste on the seatpost? I removed my seatpost yesterday to swap it for a zero offset, and there was white powder on it which I assumed to be aluminium corrosion.

[Roadrocket]

Yes, the white powder you did find is corrosion. Clean up the dust and use some corrosion resistant carbon paste, I use Morganblue carbon paste in mine, but I think any other carbon paste should work. Just check the seatpost regularly, carbon doesn´t like aluminium at all

[st3rius]

Thanks! I've cleaned it up and applied a liberal amount of carbon paste on all the carbon post that goes into the frame so hopefully it solves the issue.
