2011 Specialized Allez Sport 27 with Red Schwalbe Ultremo ZX

[2wd]

Decided to pimp the bike up a bit and changed the standard tyres for Ultremo ZX

Havn't tried them yet though as it's too windy

Next will be red bar tape

Now that is a beautiful bike.

2011 is definitely the year of the white bike (I also bought a white bike this year)

Don't rush the bar tape change - see if the white grows on you, if not, red will complement the pimped wheels

Looks stunning, although i hate white tape so red it would be for me.

Thanks for the comments

The red tyres make a big difference to the looks,hope they perform well,may pop out in a while as the wind has dropped (if I can be @rsed moving off the sofa )

The white tape has to go,looks great when new but it gets dirty too easily.

Mmm,may get a red saddle as well

Edit.... Just stuck my head out of the front door,double glazings doing a good job,it's still blowing a gale

very nice indeed, red bar tape would set it off great

I'm thinking.....

Red
Black
Or Red and black

 

[xxmimixx]

or black bar tape and red hoods?

^^^^ Ooh there's another one for the hat

Just been out on the bike to try them and they are noticeaby quicker than the Specialized ones,I mean much better ,that was until I hit a pot hole and BANG - deflated

Looks like the valve on the innertube is ruined!

Lovely looking bike. White is gonna be my next purchase

White bikes are my favourite,plus they compliment the colour of the walls in our hallway

I really wanted the 2011 Cube Peloton in white with the lime green decals but couldnt find one for the right deal.

Very pleased with the Allez though and the bike is much quicker with these new tryes on,virtually no resistance and made the 8 miles I did tonight the most enjoyable 8 miles on a bike

no no no no no no no tyers are black, Lance rode black, Bradley rode black, Boardman rode black, Hoy............. and don't get me started on bartape (just kidding)

it's a very nice looking bike stop looking at the curtains and ride it

Im jealous, white is the best colour for a bike, red tyres look the business
