from the Specialized Website:

All too often, corners are cut to meet price-points in the entry-level road bike market, but the Allez redefines what it means to be "entry level." Focusing on weight, refinement, and reliability like nothing else in its class, the Allez is the first to make these technologies accessible to everyone. Whether you're just getting into road cycling, commuting, or looking for a new bike, the Allez is just as performance-packed as it is versatile.

For the build, this Allez features reliable Shimano Claris shifting, durable Axis Sport alloy wheels, a new super-comfy Body Geometry Bridge saddle.

Not only does a lightweight bike feel better when you're climbing up a hill, but it's also essential when you're carrying your bike up to the 5th floor, and this was at the forefront of the frame design. With a redesigned E5 Alloy frame, the Allez features a class-leading weight. Aggressively thin-walled, yet tough, tubes have been implemented to save weight and this results in over a 450g (1-pound) reduction in the frame and fork alone when compared to some models of yesteryear.

Entry-level road bikes often times feature either alloy or cheap carbon fibre forks that greatly detract from the overall ride quality. But with a full FACT carbon fibre fork, the Allez is better handling, smoother riding, and lower in weight, floating over rough chip-seal and carving through corners like a slalom skier.

For the geometry, the Allez was developed by utilising Specialized's vast Retül fit database. This meant creating a geometry that's sure to cover a broad range of positions, while still providing the performance-minded handling you'd expect from your first bike.

This Allez also features integrated rack and mudguard mounts, allowing you to get weight of your backpack off you and onto a lightweight rack. This not only makes for a good road bike, but it also enables you to transform it into a fast commuter

CYCLES

Whilst we offer our own transport delivery to those of us lucky enough to live on the Isle of Wight, we are still able to deliver most cycles to the Mainland.

Unless specified in the cycle details, we will be able to ship your cycle to the mainland.  A few cycles are for collection only - this is due either to the physical size (eg some cruisers)or the fitments which could get damaged in transit (eg on Dutch and Cruiser style cycles).

We use delivery via ParcelForce Large Item service to UK addresses, including highlands and islands.

This is charged at a subsidised price of £35 per cycle. (Parcelforce normally charge £59.63+vat each - Jan 2026 price check)

The bicycle is packed in a strong cycle box. 

Please allow one working day to prepare the cycle for delivery prior to collection from us by ParcelForce,

Being on an Island, deliveries can sometimes take an additional day to arrive, so please bear that in mind when ordering.

A ParcelForce tracking number will be provided once dispatched.

Reassembly after shipping

To enable the bicycle to be shipped, the handlebars, front wheel, saddle and pedals will be removed and will need refitting. 

the gears and brakes are adjusted prior to boxing, but due to the nature of shipping bikes in boxes it is rare but possible that the rear derailleur, for example, may be knocked out of alignment during handling. 

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTICE

Please note that this bicycle is shipped partially assembled and may require final adjustments before use. In particular, the brakes and gears may need to be properly aligned and adjusted to ensure safe and optimal performance.

We strongly recommend that the bicycle be inspected and adjusted by a qualified bicycle mechanic before riding. This is especially important for safety-critical components such as the braking system and gear shifting.

By purchasing this bicycle, the buyer accepts responsibility for ensuring that all components are correctly assembled and adjusted prior to use.

The seller is not liable for any injury, damage, or loss resulting from improper assembly or adjustment.

We do not reimburse for mechanical adjustments, so if you are unsure about purchasing a cycle mail order then please do not, and consider buying a cycle from your local bike shop that is set up and ready to ride away.

Thank you for your purchase and ride safely.
