Specialized Allez
New road riders and anyone who wants Specialized road geometry without carbon race numbers.
The endurance/entry alloy Specialized: taller and calmer than Allez Sprint. It is a first road bike and a winter beater, not a Tarmac.

Sportive riders who found Teammachine too low.
BMC endurance road: taller stack, more compliance, all-day. Still Swiss-precise steering compared with some endurance bikes.
