Yes.. my silver one got delivered to my shop on Friday as well. They're building it now while I'm on vacation. I should have it Wednesday.

Here's my Allez in a size 56. I'm running a 140mm -12 SWorks stem, which feels more "comfortable" than the 130mm.

Pass Quest 1x Chainring 52T
FD/Battery/Hanger/Small Chainring Delete - Saves around 250g
Wheels: Magene Exar DB508 Ultra (50mm/58mm) - 1366g
TPU Tubes - Saves around 100g
SWorks Power Saddle Carbon

I wanna say the bike weighs around 7.7kg before cages, mount, pedals, power meter. Around 8kg all in.

not that i need another allez frame, but does anyone know when the new colors/frames are dropping for the US?
"Dropping" as in "released" or as in "available"?
The 2023 colors have already been released in Germany in February, but still no availability - my 2023 frameset has been pushed from March to May to July, and the latest date in my system is August 7th. But my confidence in this date is pretty low...
It is a strange feeling, but I finally got my frameset yesterday. Yay! :beerchug:

Now it's time to build the bike. I was hoping the raw aluminum look would help save some weight, but the frame (including seatpost clamp, RD hanger and bottle cage screws, size 56) is actually quite heavy at 1607g, the fork is 434g (uncut).

They are fantastic to be honest. If I could only have one set of wheels and I didn't live in area as flat as Chicago, these would be it. The 23mm internal really makes a differnce over 21mm. And the DT-Swiss style hub means you can upgrade the ratchet system if that's your thing.

Thanks.

I picked it up Sunday afternoon and rode it Monday morning, Tuesday morning and This morning. I am super happy with it. It is super stiff, maybe the stiffest bike I've ever ridden when I stand on it and sprint, but at the same time doesn't feel as harsh as my memory of my 1st gen Venge.
