does the Allez have road centric gearing? hard to tell from the url; or perhaps other road centric things? how is it more efficient?
on my steel frame mtn bike, i "fixed" the street issue by bumping up the big chain ring a few teeth. worked well enough.
now that i have a dedicated mtn bike, AND the space, Winter project is to get the old thing back on the road, put appropriate slicks on it, and enjoy the nice touring frame goodness it was based on.
i've been eyeing more modern mtn bikes though. like better brakes, and perhaps a better feel (hard to define). the flip side is that i can have the shocks on current bike sent out to be rebuilt for low money. or buy a new shock.
