With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

At the heart of the Allez sprint is Specializeds D'aluisio smartweld technology which strategically places more welding material where it's needed, resulting in an aluminium bike that's more compliant and considerably stiffer.
How stiff exactly? It's the stiffest alloy bike they've ever tested, let alone made.
Drawing inspiration from the rider-first engineered Tarmac,this frame also has a unique down tube bottom bracket shell and head tube plus fork sizes that correspond to frame size. This ensures uniform performance across the entire size run.
To make sure that every single watt you produce gets transferred to the road the gave it short chainstays that create an extremely stiff and rigid rear triangle. But it goes beyond just pure rigidity as the hydroformed tube shapes have also been aerodynamically optimized to slice through the wind while also providing tons of built-in compliance.
Road Bike Sizing Guide
Road bikes as the name implies are for road use. There are a growing number of “gravel” or “adventure” bikes which are based on road bicycles, but feature wider and more versatile tyres and disc brakes, so you can also do light trail riding such as towpaths. They are also more pothole resistant!
Sizing is normally in cm, and is a measurement from the centre of the chain-wheel axle (The BB or bottom bracket) and the top of the frame seat tube. Some are measured to the centre of the seat tube where it meets the top tube (otherwise known as the crossbar).
That measurement is on road bikes normally in CM – and no-one really knows why! Some road bikes will use “T-Shirt Sizing” so S, M, L, XL etc. but there will be a geometry chart that then shows the measurement in CM.
If you need any more advice on bike sizing for road bikes please contact us and we can help you make the right choice.
