Recently I have been looking at the Specialized Allez Race. it includes the best of both worlds for me.
the specialized allez frame which I like along with the 105 group set.
although I am unsure about the shimano R561 brakes that come with this bike. are they any different to the 105 brakes? I only have sora brakes on my allez right now, would I notice any difference, is there any difference?

    i could be wrong but i think they are meant to be between tiagra and 105 in terms of performance.

    if you're still using shimano pads, which are dire, swapping them for good ones (i.e. swissstop) will make much more difference than calipers
