I was seriously trying to convince myself to pull the trigger on the Allied Able, but after seeing the updates on the new Dark Matter, I’m glad I waited.
Not a $4,500 dollar frameset
Tire clearance bumped up to 57mm
Integrated downtube storage
longer wheelbase, longer chainstays, slightly longer reach, and higher stack.

Should be interesting to see what availability looks like.

Does look cool. Looks like they nicked the Orbea Spirit fork look.
Yea no chance I’d get an Allied after seeing this. You can get a legit race ready bike for less than frame. Can’t wait to see some reviews on this!
