Specialized Allez Sprint 2023 unboxing
What amp are you using? I love the guitar, as im looking at maybe getting one of those. One of my local shops has a black one, and i love it.
Yeah get it!
I’m using a fender mustang amp
Thank you for the informative video! Dislikes asider, would you recommend this frameset? Have any issues came up since the initial ride?
Love it!
great frame mate, I am really considering this frame however I am being put off by all the custom drilling that you have had to do, what was that in the bottom bracket portion of the frame where you had do drill it? for what purpose? care to elaborate? because I am looking to build it with a Mechanical Ultegra 11 speed groupset - was this the reason for the drilling in the bottom bracket?
Only drilled the hole to allow water to drain out. (When cleaning etc)
They’re sold out of this frame color. This is such a nice paint job.
What size frame without pedals? how tall are you? What size frame?
My favorite guitar player….thanks for the help…
Nice!! How has it been treating you months later? How was switching to a Mustang bridge? Did you have to switch steing gauges or shim the neck at all? I've been wanting to get an offset for a while and have been eyeing the Vintera IIs and Japanese ones haha Just hard to choose between the Jazzmaster, Mustang, and Jaguar
They know how to make them look great. That's the main thing. Who wouldn't want that.
Respect!
fuck wow. great job.
Beautiful kitty!
top marks!
If I hadn't own my japanese Jag, I would buy this one, cos for the wonderfull color and the unique neck. But would modify the parts, that aren't good on any jag like the bridge or the tremsystem. Also add the string mute. I love the different tonalities the jag can have🙂
I’ve changed the bridge & will be changing the switching configuration soon. Great guitar though. Sounds good & plays great!
@@Cyclingsucks The Jag sounds so different in comparison with a Tele or a Strat and I like the weird shrilly tone the guitar got including the basscut😃
Quick question, when do specialized generally release these sprint framesets?
I don’t think you can get this colour way (sold out) but you can still get some 2024 colours. Depending on what country your in
175 lbs 28mm GP5000 on Vittoria TPU tubes, 70 psi rear - 65 psi front. You can probably go quite a bit lower on your PSI
Yeah I’m gonna go a little bit lower I think. 60 psi on my 32s could probably go lower again
Heart! Nice...
Can you tell me your saddle height ?
70cm from the centre of the BB
Turn off the background music. Not needed and very distracting.
The dog on the headstock: most important!
That looks sick. 🤙
I’m over anything narrower than 32. So over.
Me too man. Going to 32 asap haha
Looking very nice. It’s a shame about the bar tape! Have you thought about going tubeless on this bike? Do you know what SPD pedals you’re using?
That color is 😎😎😎😎
Well done buddy. Creating this kind of content is not easy
I wish someone have warned me about this guitar’s fkin bridge before i bought it. soo frustrating.
Get a mustang one. Easy fix. Or a mastery. EXPENSIVE FIX
@@Cyclingsucksi indeed ordered new bridge. i just don’t understand how they can make 1200€ guitar with such a shitty guitar part 😄
@@sovka8394 yeah! A bit annoying! But hopefully quick fix
@@Cyclingsucksthanks for the video. did you switch bridge for mustang one? How are you satisfied with this guitar now?
@@sovka8394 yeah man. Mustang bridge in. I was going to change some switches. But I’m kinda used to it now. I will put a tele style switch blade in a some point! Just changed the strings too. Not sure what comes on it (probably 10s) But I’ve slapped some 11s on
Hi! What do you think is the maximum tire width on the allez sprint? Do you think a 33mm gravel tire will fit?
Yo. Not 100% I’ve seen a couple online with gravel tyres. Have a look on instagram on some of the Facebook forums. 32mm gravel tyres would.
Well done Sir you've got my subscription ( I KNOW NOT EXACTLY THE RECORDING CONTRACT YOU DESERVE ) but many thanks from an old man, you absolutely nailed it and you made my day a lot better have a wonderful week. PEACE AND LOVE TO EVERYONE ❤❤.
It's Velobuild Day.
it's a bit like a canyon endurace isn't it
Very much. Great bike
Cross training, mostly Indian food and beer....
Love the colorway! I recently built up an Allez in the same color, Tubeless on 32s. I may have to do a Video on it as well. The Corsa Pro is my fav tire as well. Super clean and dope build! #RobbArmstrong
Nicer! Think I saw your build on Facebook. Great bikes! ⚡️👍🏼
im interested how the paintjob will be holding up. I had a icebreak red painted 168 and the paint chipped on multiple points with minor contact. Maybe i was just unlucky, hope yours will hold up better.
I’ll keep you updated! It’s not gonna get LOADS of miles to be honest. But 🤞🏼 for sure.
Nice build man. What about that bottle cage and bottle? No rattle?
It’s horrible! Swpped it out for a fidlock one!
Sounds great! What amp are you using?
It’s a fender mustang gt - great for bedroom jams
@@Cyclingsucks I see, thanks!
The zipp service course cx bartape is pretty sweet and affordable and I’m pretty sure msw makes an almost carbon copy of it for even cheaper! Good stuff.
Nice. I’ve just ordered some stuff from Amazon - review coming soon
Solid choice of wheels. I'm on my second set of Elite wheels and wouldn't hesitate to buy them again.
Music distracting
Hi Owain, about the combo bars and Change it, you can watch Patrick Lino video...i think he did that on 268 but did it on other velobuild frames.
Hey man. Yeah I watched it. Not 100% sure which set up he has.. I have a plan 👀
It's a secret!!
Secret FSA? 😁
@@JorgeSantos-zk6ju I run integrated bars.
@@PatrickLinook, In 268... But what i was mentioning is your setup on 177 with that FSA headset to Run the cables inside... Not full hide cables but they can go inside.
Happy to see you finished (kinda) the build and were able to ride it already! Given everything you experienced with the frame from build to first ride - would you still buy it again?
Thanks! It’s been good! I wish I had a bit better skills. But that was suppose to be what this was about! Of course yeah! Had it not been for the lack of tools I would’ve done the last bit myself. Rides great too
You can learn a lot about a bike on a windy day. They are all ok on calm days. Like you, I am no fan of integrated cockpits. Simple enough to change though. Looking good....
great rig
Noice! i just bought me a black version this week.
Woooo!
Roval c38 with Pirelli p zero race 30mm 75psi , Roval clx with turbo cotton ltd 28mm 80-82 psi on tarmac sl7 . The 30mm Pirelli is lighter than my 28 turbo cotton , both using tpu tubes . Both roll extremely good but turbo cotton better at cornering at speed 👍
Niceee! Sounds like you’ve got that dialled in 👌🏼 I do like the look of the turbo cottons!
@@Cyclingsucks yes I have a couple of pairs in tan wall and also the limited edition cottons which have black walls but still cotton casing which you can’t buy anymore . To be honest you can’t go far wrong with any of the top tier tyres nowadays.
Been there, took me days to figure it all out. In my case the major issue turned out to be a couple of issues: At first I was using the wrong bolts. Did not realize the shifter bolts (to hose) were different from the caliper bolts (connection to hose). After getting that sorted the next issue was it turned out the reason I could not tighten the bolt (left shifter) was because I needed to have the shifter (where the hose attaches) rethreaded. All works well now. Next mission is to shorten my stem to get my fit better. They really need to make this all easier Perhaps a screw in adapter that sits in the stem, which would allow you to more easily make adjustments without having to cut the hose
I’ve washed my hands with it for now. Just wanna get it finished. I’ve got some other bits to do on my purple bike too! So will be sure to bleed the brakes on that. Frustrating when you don’t have all the stuff!
Hydraulic disc brakes require a whole new skill set. I have those skills, but oh how I wish mechanical discs had more development. Cables beat hydraulics in terms of everyday simplicity every time.
Great looking guitar, sounds great as well, congrats!
Just got my mustang bridge. first gig with it tonight. 🎉 let’s goooo
@@Cyclingsucks Enjoy it, the Mustang will be a great option!
Vittoria Rubino Corsa Control 2.0 30mm with Ridenow TPU tubes running at around 5 bar, with a total system weight of around 112kg. Can't complain for now, very comfortable - maybe a bit bouncy when I try to accelerate.
Oooh nice. I’m excited to see how the tpu’s feel. Bike feels lighter for sure
@@Cyclingsucks yup, you can really feel that on the front wheel, it's way more twitchier
28s at 84 psi, yes im a big guy. I run pirelli p zero with ridenow TPU tubes
Nice I think I’ll go with the tpu full time after the latex!
28s at 60psi with Ridenow TPU tubes from AliExpress. Early Ridenow TPU tubes were a bit unreliable re the valves but they fixed that late summer last year. Now hold pressure WAY better than latex. Continental Ultra Sport tyres. Used to run GP 5000 but found them too fragile. Ultra sport gives almost the same ride feel and great wet grip for a fraction of the cost and way better puncture/sidewall protection.
I’ll be interested to see how they turn out on my other build 🤘🏼🤘🏼
Tan walls always, and helmet please sir 😂
160 crank length is uber short - how you getting on with them. Positives vs negatives? I ride 170 but thinking about getting 165. Would be interested in your viewpoint.
Yeah man. Short. But the Allez sprint is quite an aggressive position. So having shorter (than 165mm) is great. Cadence has gone up & I can spend more time in the drops. Personally I don’t think you’ll regret going to 165 🤘🏼
