Allez Elite 2011

velogee

This is my first road bike. I got it in March from Evans, and paid the princely sum of £700. I bought it on the strength of the frame which I may upgrade in time. The only upgrade so far are the Fulcrum 7's with Pro 3's, and changing to a larger 27T cassette (weak!)

Doing my first club run on her tomorrow.

Nice, I like the red and white, a bit different than those stealth bikes that keep popping up! Good choice on the wheelset and good luck on the club run.

Thanks for the comments. I love red, my mtb is red as is my car. What's your experience of R7's? I got them because the cxp22 had rough old hubs, and went out of true a lot. The R7's don't feel lighter but they are much high quality from what I can tell.

I like the R7's, i've got them on my Bianchi after the stock Ambrosio ones went a few months back. Like you weight wise i'm not sure what the difference is but I think they look a lot nicer, they're a decent pair of commuting/training wheels and always get good reviews. They also let you know when you're being lazy with the freehub so I find them a good training partner to keep you pedalling!

9.4kg on the fishing scales.

Due to a knee injury, it didn't get the beating it deserved last summer. Had a BG Fit done which was incredible, and the best money I have spent yet. Bar tape changed, SL-K seat post, Specilialized Avatar saddle all added in the past couple of months. Stem and spacers will be going black in due course.

Thanks for that chap. You may notice that I bought a rather run down house!
