Just Got my New S-Works E5 Back from the shop, I had the frame kitted out with a full Ultegra Groupset, Reynolds Bars and Stem, Selle Italia SLR plus a flightdeck computer. The wheels I got on the cheap from a friend and are the only second hand part on the bike but have only got 200 miles on them so they are great, Bike feels awesome, very responsive and pretty light too, Take a look HERE (http://www.speeding.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/) for some pics.

Congrats on the new ride! Nice to see somebody riding an E5 with a black frame instead of red. ;)

Anybody got a silver E5...?

I never saw a Silver one in the shop but I am in the UK so I think we only get Red and Black, but out of the two I think the Black looks better hands down.

I thought Shimano highends, like Ultegra and Dura Ace were not coming out til the end of the year or early next yeay. Did you order early? I ordered mine in August and still have nothing. You're lucky! That's a really nice bike.

The bike is only Ultergra 9 so you can easily get hold of it, I couldnt justify the extra cost and wait for ultegra 10 when 9 speed is more than ok. As for the new bikes, I think the only thing holding them back is the groupsets so frames are in stock, also depends where you are, im in the UK. I reckon if it was a build from specialized i would have had to wait, luckily I got the frame and had it built up from there. Im so happy with it, very fast and responsive.

but wish I had a full black instead. I've got the '04 DA 10 and love the bike- climbs like a MF and drops pretty badass... but I have fond memories of my '03 S-Works matte black hardtail mtb. In any event, nicely done, man. Enjoy!

That is one nice bike, shows me what I could do with mine if I wanted, next year sometime I will get a set of FSA Superlight Cranks and a set of Zero Gravity Brakes. Should bring the weight down a little. I will Probably bring the bike up to Dura Ace too but all takes time and money

Colonel Klink, When you update your cranks go with ISIS and you can get a lot lighter bottom bracket then a shimano octolink. I went with AM classic due to the light weight and availability. AM classic is about 15 miles away from where I live.

Now total price?

Now total price?

$3891

I think this is an excellent price for a custom build and for a complete bike
that weighs is at 14.56 lbs

Cost me £1390 for bike without wheels and £280 for wheels with Michelin Pro Race tyres and a Dura Ace block on the rear

It still needs a motor.LOL

ditch the saddlebag and the swap the yellow tires for grey or black ones. cool bike though. wish mine was that nice!

here is mine....

Hows that thing ride? I was looking at the Tarmac pro today for 3k.

i was interested in the Tarmacs a while ago, but now i've decided that the Allez model would be better for me. my current bike is too small and is like riding on a boulder, both weight-wise and comfort-wise. i would kill for a 2004 Allez Pro. that is one kick-ass bike.

oh and nice E5s, guys.

I just got my S-works E5 built up. I chose Campy 10s Veloce group, ritchey bars/stem, will upgrade later to FSA/isis compact set-up when I'm done tiling my LR and kitchen. :)
I love my bike, it is so fast, and climbs on its own. Lost over 7 pounds from my old bike. Love it very much. I'd recommend it to anyone!

Currently I own a 02 Allez E5 SLX Comp Festina Replica and I'm very happy with my mistress my wife just doesn't get it. Anyway my LBS has an 03 S Works left over in the Acqua & Sapone colors I'm tempted to treat myself during the holidays. But now with your posts & picture you now have me considering the 05 S Works. The Red & Matte black look wicked I just can't understand how the price dropped the MSRP is $900.00 on the 05 E5 framesets, can anyone drop me a line with some information.

When I saw the 05 prices that's when I decided I wanted the Black anodized frame. This has to be the best deal anywhere for a 2.5lbs frame. Now my bike fully equipped weighs in at 14.5 lbs. Super Ride!!!!!! :)

How much is the LBS selling the frame for? I did not realize the 05 S-Works frames had gone down in price. Suppose Spec wants people to look at the Tarmac frames a little closer, or sell more E5's. I love the colors of this bike. If your wife will let you buy it, run to the shop. I can relate to you fully dude! My partner doesn't understand either... that bike dollars just don't count! :-)

don't mean to make this the classifieds, but I've got one I want to sell. shoot me a note if you or anyone else in interested. It is built up as a TT bike with FSA/Visiontech tt bars and barends, but that is easily changed. I have sti and bars/stem to go with.

just finished it yesterday. Still deciding on a seat.
