Great build, looks superb! How are you finding the Allez? Good choice on the BB, I really love my Wheelmfg (PF30->Shimano) and really rate them. Why did you have so much of a 'mare? PWM/Red not being DUB?The new chaingang ride.

Got there in the end with a Wheels MFG adaptor.
Have seen a few builds of them recently, it's such a smart looking frame. Amazing to think Specialized only did them in alu. None of their other alu frames come close in terms of racing performance which is a shame - they're all much lower down their ranges, so more flexy, heavier and 'basic'. Unsure if more relaxed geometries too.
Garden looks nice too!
And valves at 6 o'clock... And in the 11/12t at the backLooks nice!!, even if it is the 'imitation' torch edition frame
And the crank should be at the 3 o'clock position when taking photos
Very! The paint was designed/adapted so it changed colour around the average daytime temperature of Rio where the Olympics where held. The paint gets less reactive with age so they generally 'settle' in a mixed fade very similar to how yours looks. As obviously UK temperatures don't really get to Rio temperatures that regularly it was fun for owners to leave them in the sun on sunny days to experience the change and just how light they would go (from Orange to Yellow imitating the Olympic flame!). Think it was around 26 degrees?Ok that's damn cool.
And @Shadowness has one!
