Yay I got a new bike!

[Sam Kennedy]

I got my 2008 Specialized Allez Sport today, £350 second hand

Sora/Tiagra Mix with Tiagra on rear. Carbon forks + seat post, Jalco GX460 wheels, padded bar tape and a halfords computer (which is pretty handy! I lost my old one!)

It weighs in at 20.6 lbs, a lot lighter than my current bike!

I took it for a test ride last week and it works smoothly and is quite fast!
I managed 25mph up a slight incline (must have only been 0.5-1%). So I'm guessing 27-28mph along the flat

Overall really chuffed with it, my first road bike!

Nice one Sam - I had to google the wheels and they sound pretty naff so start saving now!
