[SIZE= 16px]Since It’s my first road bike, so I’m not very familiar with many things in the bikes, so you opinion would be appreciated about which bike should i choose. Thanks[/SIZE]
 
These are all fine bikes, but the prices on the two Specialized bikes make the deal. I voted for the Allez because I find the tall head tube of the Secteur silly.
