I’ve raved about this company several times. Can’t say enough good things about them. I live in Little Rock and have gotten to know the Allied folks. Doing awesome things. May not matter to some but to literally know/ride with the folks that built your bike from sheets of carbon a mile from your house is special.

Wow, that is gorgeous! I agree, it would certainly make it extra special knowing and riding with 5he guys who built your bike. I just listened to The Pull podcast last week with Sam Pickman - it made me want one! I had a custom Rob English built two years ago, so no custom bikes for a while!

Yea when Sam shows up to a group be prepared to get dropped. English bikes look amazing. I really like riding something that nobody else has. I wanted matte black and they didn’t offer it so they made it for me. Pretty cool.

Two athlete family, so...
2017 Specialized Roubaix Elite
2012 Specialized Transition
2014 Cannondale Super6
2015 Cannondale Slice
I also have my first serious race bike in the garage but I only ride it for fun and to show off:
1985 Panasonic Sport 500. I've never upgraded any of the components. As they wore I sourced the original Suntour parts. It even has the original foam handle bar covering on it. Only the tires are better than the original. I still have the original pedals, but when I raced it in the 80's I used rat-trap basket pedals which are still on it to this day. Once in a while I will ride on a club ride just to show the kids that its the engine, not the carbon fiber electronic shifting machines of today. I just have to remember that the brakes are marginal at best compared to the other bikes.

Nice whip with the English, I’m on the fence between that and a Vanilla. Vanilla is like a two year wait

It was almost two and a half years for the English when I ordered it. No lie what it is at the moment.

Appreciating my wife even more as we have 19 or 20 bikes and none live in the garage. All but one are either mine or my oldest son's.
My rides
80's Schwinn Prologue single speed
Spec Crux #1
Spec Crux #2
Raleigh Single Speed CX
Felt F3
Felt DA
Spec Crosstrail
Bottecchia Sprint
Clark Kent Ti road
Spec Camber Comp
Sworks Fatboy
Framed Minnesota 2.0
Spec Allez Sprint
Maybe my wife is an enabler and I need an intervention.
I have deceptive speed.........I'm slower than I look!

- Argon18 E117 (2017) - tri race bike
- Specialized Tarmac (2014) - Road bike + used for majority of training, including the turbo in winter
- GT Grade CX (2017) - Summer and winter commuter to work and daycare. Needs new drivetrain every spring as they put salt on the roads here in winter. So not only does 1x look cool, it reduces my maintenance cost
- GT Sensor (2011) - full suspension play bike
- Mission bikes (2012) - Fixie, my pub to pub bike :)
Then the wife has Cervelo R5+Mission fixie + old MTB for commuting and the boys have a specialized hot walker and an Islabike, so that makes for a total of 10, auch...good thing i sold a couple of bikes last winter

A 1977 Trek 700 series road bike. Cost me $280.
Thought I got it in '76, but looked up the serial number and it's from April '77. Plus, they only started making bikes in fall '76 and only sold frames at first. When I bought mine they had whole bike models but it was still kinda a custom operation where you could order specific frame components as well as swap out other components from the model. You ordered the frame and they shipped the frame to the dealer and the dealer built out the bikes.
Also have a GT mountain bike I got off of Craigslist.
