I have narrowed my choices for a new road bike to the ones listed in the title. They seem comparable to me. Assuming they fit properly, I would like to hear some feedback on these.

Thanks

I can't say much except I love my Specialized Allez Elite. A bit too heavy on the back end, but for my money it's great.

Wait for the 05' Allez Elite! It will have the same lightweight SLX aluminum frame as last years Comp with only a slight price increase. IMO, the Giant has nice components, but is a little heavy. The Trek, well you know...........It won't make you Lance Armstrong!!!! Personally, I do not care for it, but it's only my opinion. It may be the sleeper in the group!!!!! or maybe not? Good luck!

I just got the 1500 3 weeks ago and love it so far. I had narrowed my choices down to the 1500 or the Allez Elite and decided that I liked the feel of the Trek better after the test ride. They're just coming out with their '05 models which upgrade to a carbon seat post and a 105 front derailer so you'd have another choice with the 1500 of closeout prices vs upgraded components. Have you taken any of the three out for test rides yet?
