1060 gram complete frameset!

56.5 effective top tube
Excellent condition with a couple very minor blemishes on the dropouts.
Raced one full road season.
Clearance for 28mm tires.
BB30 interface (I can include a nice bb/adapter for use with Shimano cranks, for an extra $40).
Can include matching S-Works all black carbon seatpost for an extra $75.
Steerer is cut low, slam that stem!
I have a Styrofoam sheath covering the rear brake cable, which is routed internally along the top tube, so this thing runs silent over rough pavement.

It's true what they say, for once, in the marketing - if you haven't ridden an aluminum bike lately, you haven't ridden an aluminum bike. Amazing ride quality!
Also, the front end of this bike is absurdly stiff and steady on descents, really hard to describe how good this bike is going downhill. Smartweld is legit!

Bike is currently built up with FULL Ultegra 6800 11 speed (Wheels, cranks, brakes, cassette, chain, derailleurs) and I will consider realistic offers on the whole bike, but please compare my bike to the 2015 Allez Expert that goes for $2400, with lesser wheels and cranks, and a lesser grade carbon seatpost, when formulating your offer. Cranks are 52x36, 172.5. Cassette is 11-28t. Stem is 120mm or can swap to 130mm, bars are 46mm wide. Drivetrain and wheels have about 1k miles. No pedals included. I have a few decent racing saddles to choose from, or transfer your own.

Email for pics or to set up a test ride.

Thanks.
