Re: 2016 Specialized Allez Sprint [jhoj]
This is now listed on the Specialized website, there are two models, a basic "Comp" model with mostly SRAM Rival and a higher "Expert" model with full SRAM Force.

Interestingly, both are single-chainring only and given the shape of that downtube I would assume that they will have to stay that way. That's a very interesting marketing choice, they're openly pushing them as crit-racing bikes, but it seems as though they will be alienating a lot of their potential market by limiting it to single-ring, certainly me for one.

Bicycling report that a traditional 2x setup is on the way, now I'm excited:

Quote:
The Allez Sprint will be offered as a frameset and in two different SRAM complete builds as a criterium-specific 1x bike by the end of the month. Another month later, traditional 2x versions with front derailleurs will be offered as well. Pricing is yet to be determined. We are receiving a test bike, though, so keep your eyes peeled for our in-depth review.
