I am in the market for a new bike (I've been running a single-speed Schwinn road bike for quite some time). I hit up my local bike shop and the employee was pushing me to an Allez ($770 IIRC).
I am pretty impressed with the bike but I like to shop around to see what I can get for my money. I was on BikesDirect (I know this site is brought up a lot around here) and I see quite a few bikes, some on sale starting at $350ish.
What bikes would compare to the Allez? Of course it doesn't have to be from BikesDirect, I am looking for a general idea what I should try out.
Or maybe the Allez is the real deal and I should go with it.
