Is this a good bike to go for? My last specialized allez was stolen just yesterday and I want to get something not too expensive but not completely rubbish either. Is there something better for around this price range? Thanks!
Here's the link to the bike

    Don't know much about it, would be interested to know if you bought this bike or got any information on it?

    I have an Airlite 100 (assume same frame with cheaper forks and groupset) and have to say its ok. Frame is reasonably stiff, not silly heavy but I find the geometry a bit too relaxed. I bought mine second hand and it came fitted with upgraded wheels so can't comment on the standard ones fitted unfortunately. Entry level Trek 1.2 or Spec Allez would be better buy, but would probably cost more like £600 and would still just have Sora, unless you buy second hand.
