What Redditors Say

Best praise vs top criticism for Specialized Allez Sport

Best Praise

+22 pts

“If this is your first bike, then go with the Allez, that way you have a local shop to support you, make sure that you buy the right size, do at least a preliminary bike fit and support you with any issues. I would not recommend anyone buying their first proper bike to go the "bike in a box" route, despite how tempting the savings are.”

Top Criticism

+9 pts

“It’s reasonable because these bikes sell for more than they’re worth. Realistically this is a 500.00 bike, but there no such thing as a 500.00 disc brake Allez or CAAD anymore”
