Specialized Allez Elite vs Cube Peloton Pro

Cona

Hi folks,
Looking to purchase my first bike and cant decide between the cube peloton pro and the specialized allez elite.

The specialized has tiagra but the Cube has 105...I do prefer the look of the specialized though

What would you go for?

I have a specialized allez elite. It's a decent bike and has served me very very well over the past years.

However, Specialized is an evil corporation that will stop at nothing including bullying very small retailers, to get their way in order to "protect their brand".

Brian?

Specialized are evil and over priced, IMO.

Cube with 105, you can't really go wrong.

Cona

Yep, the 105 is definitely better value.. Think I will go for that alright...

Spesh are douchebags and their Aesthetic does not appeal to me, Cube are awesome and their greatest weakness appears to be looking TOO good.

I have a Specialized while it served me well, I wish I had gone with the 105. I'm now in the process of either upgrading to the 105 or just buying a new bike
