Default The Crash

Well,

my Spec. Allez is toast. It is twisted and scratched after a crash
with a car.

I'm a tall rider(6'2"). I am wondering are there any bikes at the
Specialized pricepoint that have a long crowntube? with a longer
wheelbase than the Allez? Kind of curious, if I should go to that
instead. I have mixed feelings about the allez.

Which model of Allez are you talking about? For what you ay want, consider
the Sequoia

I had the Allez Elite. The numbers look very similar. The pictures
look different. The downtube is much further away from the toptube
in the Allez. They also don't have 62 cm on the website, but have 61.
I have a 2005 62.

Are there any bikes out there that are similar?
