My boyfriend is looking for a road bike if anyone knows of a slightly used one for sale. Requirements: Good condition, appropriate for a tall (6'0) man; doesn't need to be too high end but needs to be in good, safe shape.

"Hey Karen,
I have a 3 year old Specialized Allez Sport in size 58 cm frame, which should be perfect for your boyfriend because it fits me great and I'm 6'1"". It's a 2002 model which sold for $1300 brand new and I'm willing to let it go for $750, which is a great price for what you're getting. Carbon fiber fork, Shimano 105 drivetrain, Mavic wheelset, everything's in great working order, had it tuned and the wheels trued, never been crashed. The frame is in excellent shape, just a few superficial nicks and stuff but definitely nothing serious. Only reason I'm getting rid of it is because I just got a 2005 Trek Madone 5.2 and I really don't need this one, even though all my friends from the SIGs tell me I'm crazy to let it go.
You can call me too if you'd like. 917.553.4413."
