Here's a photo of my new bike, after much deliberating I chose the Specialized Allez Comp.. and its awsome.

I did put my own Fisik Arizone saddle on and a slightly bigger 32 cassette and of course my own pedals.

Lovely!

105 or Tiagra?
 
So was the cassette an 11-28 as standard? Presume the chainwheel set up is a compact 50-34? it looks like a good bike. Thinking about it you must have some big hills in your manor to warrant the 32 sprocket to create a ratio of 1.06 Have you had any problem with using the combination of the 34 chainwheel and the 32 cassette sprocket? Did you have you put a longer chain on?
I like the saddle too as the fizik range suits me too.
Oh by the way whats the all up weight of the bike please.

The 11-28 was OE but as I live on a mountain and the norm hill is a Cat 4 or Cat 3 .. I needed a bit of help. It has the 50-34 compact as you said but I did put a longer chain on which is the best thing to do, I only have tyre noise is runs so smooth.
According to bike shop its an endurance based bike which suits me just great..
I like the Fisik range too, I have a Gobi on my Specialized Crosstrail :thumbsup: and the Arizone on this one.

Getting the weight was a bit hard has no one had any idea. ( I am in Spain I must add) the best they come up with was 8.5 kg so I had to take there word on it? sounds about right I think.

PS I did change the tyres on it this morning to some Gatorskins and its a lot better ride.
Cheers
