STAN:

He's a Specialized Allez Double and after just one day of riding him around town (har har that came out dirtier than planned) I'm very pleased with my purchase. I'm going to take him for a nice journey along the Schuylkill after work and maybe to Manayunk later. He's going to be a key player in my triathlon and in my commuting to and from work. I have a few things to change out (quick release tires, addition of a second set of brake levers, water bottle holders) but straight off the showroom floor I'm really impressed with the ride and the fit. I'm scared out of my mind to leave him locked up outside though and I'm already considering purchasing another beater bike to ride around town and just keep Stan for racing purposes. I have a second tri in mind in Sept. or Oct. (though that means I'll be purchasing a wetsuit but whateva) and I have my eyes on a few cycling races as well so the future for dear Stan is bright with use and excitement.
Oh Stanny boy, you ARE rather handsome indeed.

That is a HOT bike. Get a Kryptonite U bolt lock and definately change out the quick release tires.
