email hidden said:I am trying to choose between either of these as a first road bike (I
am a MTB rider normally) but their frames appear fundamentally
different: the Trek top bar slopes forward and the Spec slopes back -
any reason for this?
Cheers
Specialized bikes are aimed at people who have a longer torso, shorter
legs,
Other then that its purely an aesthetic feature.
I would go for the specialized allez.
I just got a 2006 allez comp ( step up from elite) on www.evans.co.uk
with £400 pounds off (last years frames tend to be)
It would be a lot more value then the Trek- in terms of parts and
overall package,
It is a treat of a bike I must say, a real pearler............
