Specialized Allez Sprint DSW Red Hook Crit
When you've bough an outrageous frame, naturally you need to do an outrageous build then make an outrageous video to celebrate

Check out my full review of the frame.
I recently took delivery of the most self-indulgent bike I've ever owned: a Specialized Allez Sprint DSW Red Hook Crit edition. Sure, it's only a $1500 frame but it coincided with some big Shimano releases. Plus it's limited to just 300 frames worldwide. So with a swag full of... errr... swag... I managed to put together this ridiculous rainbow explosion of a bike. When I say "I managed" it really means "I took it to Pete at Adelaide's Bio-Mechanics Cycles and Repairs" and asked him to do it. He did a pretty killer job. Below is the full spec, and the most self-indulgent video I've ever uploaded to the internet. Enjoy!
