Any suggestions for upgrading this 2008 Allez? I love it to death, I regularly take it out for 20-50 mile rides and am training for an amateur century race later in the summer with the goal of ranking in the top half. I’m also interested in attempting my first criterion but that isn’t my main focus as much as increasing my pace as much as possible.
I average around 15 MPH for a 50 mile ride with a 2.5 average w/kg on my wahoo, I feel like I should be going faster with the watts I put out so I’m looking for suggestions.
Thank you in advance!

Have you had a bike fit on this bike? Have you done longer than 60 miles on it? 60+ miles is really a test of how well the bike fits you.
just ride it till the rims n drivetrain are toast. something something about riding upgrades…If you start crits don’t turn up with anything you can’t afford to replace.
Focus on your cadence and your gearing. Your speed is just a byproduct of that. If you’re cranking at 90 RPM and running out of gear, you might need a new cassette with lower ratios.
