Specialized FIRST CARBON BICYCLE! 1988 Specialized Allez Epic.​

This is all original made by Giant not sure what to price this at i have gone over the frame can not see any damage it has been sat in a storage container for 7 years and has some pitting on some parts im sure it will clean up real well
i have been told i should ask £1500 but open to all offers

Probably more like £400 and that's optimistic, but good luck...you never know

Sold one of these last year for 450.
Great looking bikes, sadly not to the deep- pocketed. Had a full 600 tricolore groupset, this one too almost? What's that derailleur?

What's that derailleur?

I was thinking the same! Thought it was 6 speed 105, but there's that black circle/sticker/allen head where the top of the jockey arm is attached to the body that has thrown me... Someone will enlighten us...

Thanks @squirrelchaser & @Guinessisgoodforyou That 600ex rear still doesn't make that bike worth £1500 though!

So the mech has been swapped out?
Ours had one of these, matching the rest

I think it will need one for top dollar pricing...
