2010 US Specialized list

First I've seen these, so figured it may be of interest to some, if like me you're a Specialized owner, (they are yet to add the 2010's to the European site verisons from what I can see) enjoy http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bc/SBCBkModel.jsp?spid=45880&eid=4350

These seem to be the bikes that are available to the UK market (so far).

I was thinking of buying a 2010 Trek but a fellow forumite has said that they won't be in the stores until March - so Specialized looks like a good option.

Now I just have to decide on which bike.

Nice, having had a quick look only I love the Tarmac comp colours and the Allez sport 27 is lovely looking too. I have an 08 Tarmac comp and it was worth every penny (mind you I got it in the sale at a very good price), I whacked a compact on and new tyres and it's been perfect for me.
Highly recommended here, but I have never ridden a Trek to be fair.
Have to say I'm a bit surprised at the prices though, but they did warn about rises across the industry I guess.

Thanks for the info, Sonny.

I have a decent LBS who specialises in Specialized (heh!) - I think I'd receive a better service than I would from the other bike shop who stock Bianchi and Trek.

Deciding exactly WHICH bike I want is giving me a bit of a headache though.

My favourites are the Tarmac Elite - http://www.specializedconceptstore.co.u ... AC%20ELITE.

The Tarmac Comp - http://www.specializedconceptstore.co.u ... MAC%20COMP

The Roubaix Elite 20 - http://www.specializedconceptstore.co.u ... ELITE%2020

The only thing putting me off these Specialized bikes is that it's only the bike closer to £2000 that has a 105 crankset. Surely £1500 should get you a decent groupset?

The only other bikes that have interested me are the Trek 2.3 and the Trek Madone 4.5 (2010) - oh, and the Planet X bikes also look rather nice for the price.

I snapped my 2008 Allez Elite in the middle tube. Bike has done 7000km. Bike has been sent to specialized for warranty assessment. Looks like they are covering it. Hopefully get a new frame in the coming weeks.

No worries, you could always go for the 09 comp to keep the price down. Like me you may be able to get a good sale price come September too.
