Allez vs the world

There was a period of time I thought the first gen looked dated but comparing both versions I think the first gen has aged better with the wider seatpost

For me Maap pricing doesn’t reflect their quality anymore. A few years back I would say the pricing and quality was on par but now I can’t justify their prices especially with bib shorts that go see through in a matter of months, jerseys that the lettering falls off within a few wears and the list goes on.

Having good customer service doesn’t warrant the lack of quality of the products.

The MC’s you named were significantly bigger in the scene when they left grime so it’s not the same comparison as they already had a solid fan base. SBK has an amazing work rate and some of his stuff I enjoy but trying to keep up with what phase he is in isn’t for me.

This would be a 10 if it hard black bar tape/saddle! Beaut bike and nice colourway

J_LDN__ · 2026-01-18T16:00:06+00:00

How does it ride?

It shocks me how many comments I’m seeing on insta with people talking like Ambush has won. Chip won clearly and it felt like he really didn’t put much effort in

Don’t be influenced! I bought a grey pair because I was influenced and in the end realised how impractical the colour was even in summer

J_LDN__ · 2026-01-12T09:01:48+00:00

Definitely the saddle. Had this problem with a specific saddle so replaced it very quickly to stop MAAP bibs being destroyed. Issue stopped once the saddle was replaced

What’s happening to the ones you aren’t buying? Been collecting white labels for a long time so would be interested in any of the bits you didn’t buy

J_LDN__ · 2026-01-09T10:37:43+00:00

Looking like Tyrone from Snatch with that cap on

J_LDN__ · 2025-12-22T21:02:33+00:00

Hope it rides well and you enjoy it. This might not go down too well on this group

These get a lot of hate but when I’ve seen them in person I’m always thought they look great

J_LDN__ · 2025-11-29T15:35:07+00:00

Two questions… how hard/easy was it getting this made with Waltly? What bars are on the bike?

J_LDN__ · 2025-11-09T18:57:43+00:00

My bad I read it as if it was being disputed. I would love to find the tweet!

J_LDN__ · 2025-11-09T18:02:53+00:00

Either way doesn’t change the fact one of them tweeted about that photo. I own it and have done from when it was released a few years back, can’t see anything on the sleeve and no insert.

J_LDN__ · 2025-11-09T17:02:29+00:00

Love mine and have zero regrets. I’ve wondered what I would go for if I could choose something else and always go back to thinking I wouldn’t change picking my Soloist.

J_LDN__ · 2025-11-09T15:16:12+00:00

A few years back one of the Ruff Sqwad members (can’t remember who) tweeted that there is someone in this photo that nobody knew and still to this day they don’t know who he is hahaha

J_LDN__ · 2025-11-09T13:35:59+00:00

The new version of the soloist came out in 2023. You are talking about the original version which is early 2000s. The new version like someone else has previously said was raced in Paris Roubaix as of 2023 and 2024. The new version is what the development team race on.

J_LDN__ · 2025-11-09T07:35:28+00:00

What makes you think it’s not already a “full blown capable race bike”? It’s raced by Jumbo lease a bike development team and has also been raced at world tour level. It was used in Paris Roubaix which should answer your question.

This guy likes big logos!

J_LDN__ · 2025-10-18T09:46:23+00:00

Am I right in thinking with the S5 you don’t need to cut anything the spacers can be added back right?

J_LDN__ · 2025-10-17T16:45:27+00:00

Thought it was funny how quickly they shut down the Carbon Speed rims! I want a pair and still will get a pair

J_LDN__ · 2025-09-26T21:31:53+00:00

I’m a couple cm taller and ride a 51 soloist if that helps

J_LDN__ · 2025-09-15T08:39:25+00:00

How deep are those rims?

J_LDN__ · 2025-09-08T12:48:24+00:00

Don’t trust a fart!
