Right, I am trying to work out what bike to buy. I have narrowed it down to two...

Specialized Allez Elite 2010

Orbea Aqua TTG 2010

What do you lot think? Or are they pretty much the same?

Cheers!

    Both great bikes but my money would be spent on the orbea. I have had an Allez and an Orbea in the past and the orbea frame(the heart of the bike) is much better and a good base for upgrading in future is you should desire.

    Shop aound though at this time of year you could land yourself a bargain.

    My Orbea Vitesse(now my winter bike but once my good bike) is still going strong after 7 years.

    I have the Orbea Aqua TTG. Git it at the end of the summer from my LBS were I also test rode the Allez in your post. I'm not an expert but the Orbea felt so much nicer than the Allez and I'm so pleased I got it.

    I'm hoping to upgrade the wheels at some point but Ineed to upgrade the clothing first! No gloves in the winter and cotton t-shirts in the summer don't go well with cycling.

    I'm glad you have both gone for the Orbea! That's what I wanted, but I see so many people with the Spesh, that I couldn't help but think there must be something to make it better!

    I am hoping to get a very good deal on the Orbea, so will go for that!

    Thanks for the help.
