Hi,

I currently have a 2004 Specialized Allez Comp with a complete Ultegra Group. I am looking to upgrade the frame to carbon. I would like to stay with specialized, but will consider everything. Also, I was quoted $150 for the labor of transfering my components. Does that sound right?

Any suggestions on hwat frame to purchase?


Thank you,

Nick Cach

what's your budget?

what's your budget?I would like to keep it under $1000. Thats including the fact that my current frame can go for at least $300.

Pretty impressive, but their frame logo is rather tacky.
