Waiting for my new AllezComp CroMo I was wondering if it would come with '05 Ultegra (no one at LBS seems to know) An email to Specialized yielded a prompt and disappointing answer that they have spec'd old Ultegra because of 1. the increased cost of new Ultegra and 2. lack of availability 'til early next year. Therefore an '05 Allez Comp CroMo= an '04. So will they switch to the new Ultegra mid-year and raise prices?

they already raised the price $70 from 04. 1630 versus 1700.
