Hi,

just got a Specialized Allez Sport that I'm picking up today.

Firstly, do you use a "nice" bike for commuting?

Well mine has come in at over a grand. Eventually. Not counting the
replacement Alfine-11 mind.

Secondly and this might sound a bit silly but is having a RED bike an issue.

Abso-****ing-lutely! A red bike will leave any other bike standing off
the lights!

I'm talking about theft mostly.

Ah. A good D-Lock to something immobile will keep the scrotes off,
after that, don't lock it in a pikey area.
