    thanks for that. as the reviews are both for older models, do you know if they have changed the frames at all? and if the specialized is now lighter? i have been looking around and can't find anything for the 09 model, other than the trek.

    TBH there won't be much diff weightwise at all, not enough to get worked up over. I've owned an Allez, great bike and it's still going strong - now owned my a mate.

    +1. Both are solid entry level bikes and the weight of the complete bike will change if you upgrade the wheels, groupset, bars etc. Which one goes faster will depend on the legs and lungs of the rider.

    My sister's got the WSD Allez and has done an Ironman on it no problem.
    FCN 2-4.
