edited May 2010 in Road buying advice
narrowed my bike search down to these 2.

Any advice, preference etc. in 5'10 with a 6'2 wingspan so was told the allez might be better for that respect.

Any advice would be great

    I've got an Allez & love it. However looking at the Specs now I would go with the Trek. They seem to give you a lot more for your money than Specialized are at the minute. I would find a bike shop that stocks them both & go & test ride each one in your size.
    I'm looking at getting a new road bike & I will be going with Trek!!!!!!

    Hardly anything to choose between them, would come down to looks and how each one feel to you, so try and sort out a test ride on both.

    Sorry your right I was looking at the wrong spec Allez. That's tricky now, I would now tend to go with what danowat says. All I can say though is I love my Allez.

    I love my Allez elite too, but TBH, anyone who owns said bike/make would say that 8)

    Go with the one which excites you the most.

    If they both fit nice buy the one you like the look of most.
