Right guys and girls,

Along with my Orange MsIsle Frame and Raceface cranks I have a new item up for sale!!!

I have a 2008 Specialized Allez 18.

It is a 56cm frame and it all works and functions fine. The bike new RRP's at around the £600mark and features carbon forks amongst other things!

I have added 2 bottle cages, replaced the tyres with some Schwable Lugano's with a blue stripe and added some Shimano SPD Pedals (MTB Cleat fitment).

The reason i am selling is it is a bit too small for me! I am 6ft1in and need a larger frame. I bought it not knowing much about road bikes and fine it a great training tool and a great way to get about! If you don't want to take your MTB everywhere especially around town this is an awesome weapon!

A 56cm is the the recommended size for riders up to and about 5ft9in.

I wont beat about the bush the frame does have quite a few marks on it around the rear triangle. There is no structural damage and I feel that the price reflects the condition. I will post pictures up at lunch.

I am look a quick sale at only £225ovno!!!!!


If you have never bought a road bike but want to give it a go this is a great weapon to get started on!!
