Riding older carbon road bikes

[BrumJim]

I'm still riding a 2009 aluminium Specialized Allez, aluminium frame but carbon forks. And it very definitely has not been in the garage for most of this time. It has seen the very worst weather (really shouldn't have gone out that day), copious quantities of rain (until I got the disc-braked bike) and had a few accidents.

All fine.

And a bike that’s far too small for him

Alongo gave me this Frameset and wheels. I bought eBay parts for a scrap heap challenge.
Must be early 2000’s. 7kg as it is, eventually do some little upgrades.
