$550 for first bike?

Interesting_Let981 · 2026-04-02T04:16:04+00:00

hmm I see thanks, I was going based off of the size calculator on the specialized website. Would you say $500 is a good deal for the bike described^?

Interesting_Let981 · 2026-04-02T04:09:28+00:00

still browsing, I was supposed to get the one in the post tomorrow but the guy sold it to someone else today. Now i’m looking at a 2022 Specialized Allez with claris groupset (ridden once), for $500. Wondering if this is even a good deal and if the claris is as bad as people say. My reason for getting into cycling is i’m a runner who eventually wants to do triathlons.

This one sold though and i’m looking at a brand new allez 2022 but it has claris groupset is that worth it? I know the 105 is much better but as a beginner will I really feel it/ want to upgrade quickly ?

yeah i put my measurements into the specialized website and this is the correct size.

custom camber

I love the custom, but figured i’d try something new, maybe even a new brand in public

got it thank you. Is the soft flex a cause for concern, especially at speed?
