I love a good project, and when Joey reached out to ask if I’d be up for building his latest road bike I was stoked when he pulled up with this stripped raw Specialized Allez Sprint. I really like these frames, and the raw finish adds to the industrial look of the stiff alloy frame and big welds. It’s a proper dream bike with ENVE 5.6 wheels and an Ultegra Di2 groupset, and was a pleasure to put together.

Say ‘Hi’ to Joey when you see this thing flying around Castle Combe.
