specialized allez or trek 1000

[[email protected]]

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

I bought a Specialized Allez back in January as my 'first proper road bike'
and have been thoroughly pleased with it. My only quibble was with the
tyres, but I changed them almost straight away and have been enjoying riding
it ever since. I don't know much about the Trek as my LBS doesn't stock them
so I can't give you a comparison, just a thumbs up for the Allez.

Seconded, I got an Allez Elite on bike-to-work a couple of weeks ago and it's
great.
