NoMütze,

Thank you!

spacer

Yupp, i know the sequence. I've been riding bikes for over 20 years now . My case was inside of it - no compression ring.

the thin rubber seal

It's totally plastic, not the rubber or rubberized plastic.

Yupp...

I was looking at the Spesh website and noticed that the rear derailleur cable is zip-tied to the frame. I went to the frameset pics and there definitely are not traditional cable stops but instead little holes to put plastic zip-ties. Older Allez sprint frames clearly have cable stops like in the pic above.

Does anyone know anything more about this? There is no way I'll ride a bike put together with zip-ties even if it's for bad weather/commuting. Also, are cables still routed this poorly in current models? Appreciate the input since I otherwise like the look of these frames!

My 2019 rim brake version has cable stops on the chainstay where the cable exits to inner, then goes back into outer again. The bottom bracket routing is via outers, routed through a plastic guide.

Whoooooo's ready for a new 2021 Allez Sprint Disc design??

[dudemanppl]

Speculation or do you know something we don't?

[dcorn]

No, just wishing. Just built up a rim brake bike last year, but would love a new disc design in a cool new color.

Now in it's final form, albeit waiting for the inline seatpost to arrive... 7.6kg as pictured.

No more sprint track/rim.

Would be nice if they came out with a SRAM Force AXS 1X version with Roval wheels. I would say in the ballpark of $5k as you can get the Tarmac for $7k.

Love the build. That crimson fork really goes well. Looks fast. What's the goal for how you're going to use this one?

2020 Down Under Edition
Just got around to building the bike, had the frame since Feb.

Hey guys. If you want to further slam your stem, coz the short dust cover (8mm) is still too tall, you can try the CeramicSpeed one. I ordered the Cervelo version (45mm OD) and added a 3mm headset spacer underneath the CS dust cover;



I could make the gap smaller - perhaps with a 2mm spacer and a couple of microspacers.

Has anyone managed to fit a Cane Creek EEbrakes on there Allez Sprint? (particularly a Sz 52CM) From what i read there may be clearence issuses in the rear. But Ive seen a few members on here who managed to fit them. But theres not a lot information out on this. Can anyone confirm?

Sorry, just seen this.

It's been built as a commuter / training bike.

Done 1,500km on it now (one ride was 304km) and it's been amazing. So impressed with how it rides, I've sold my S5D and in the market for an S-Works Tarmac / Venge.

Ok, let me join the party
Here is my build (intermediate state)
Frame is Allez Sprint Disc, Splano Designer Edition, size 56
Wheels - DT SWISS PRC 1400 65 mm, with Schwalbe Pro One Addix 25 mm, tubeless setup
Crank is Quarq DFOUR 52/36
Rest of the groupset is 105 R7000
Saddle : Power Elaston
Stem: 120 mm S-WORKS
Handlebar : S-WORKS Aerofly II, 40 cm
Cassette : temporarily 11-34, R7000 (going to steep mountains in a week), usually I ride at home country with 11-25

The weight of the bike as pictured is 8. 44 kg

First ride today - absolutely love it. Pressure is 6 bar, and after about 3 hours riding today, I had no fatigue or pain of any kind. Was expecting a very harsh ride given some of the other comments, but nope - very positively surprised.

Quite a lot opportunities to shed weigh, but step-by-step
