what do you think of the new bike?

[jack smith]

so ive just made abit of a bigger jump into cycling, i bought a viking mistral just to get the feel of it and loved it so i went and bought myself a specialized allez sport, i never like having anything standard that everyone has the same of so i did a few cosmetic things to it just to make it my own, still need to get a black saddle for it, but what do you lot think? does it still look too newbie? (the white bar tape image is how it came)

i hopped back on the viking one night just for old times sake and it seems to me like the viking is actually alot faster and better handling? weird cause the thing weighs a ton and the components are made of cheese.

Looks good to me, although bar tape should be black imho.

Very nice, although very in your face about being a Specialized! I prefer the red bar tape, I think you should go for a red saddle as well.

Too much branding

 

[BigonaBianchi]

Very nice but I prefer green bar tape on the left and purple on the right with a yellow saddle.

Is it a Specialized?

As above, it's nothing a black saddle, black bar tape, black bottle cages and black pedals won't sort

PS: did I mention I like black

I do like it! I agree it has specialized written on it too much but I don't mind it just don't like the allez on the top!
