Nice components, older frame (but still seems fine), disc brakes. Only negative I see is it needs wider tire clearance to keep up with the latest trends. Plan to use for crit racing.
That’s definitely not an allez. Looks like a tarmac to me.

A but much for an Allez. In the end it isn’t a carbon frame and they have it priced like one.

There are a bunch of nice and expensive parts on the bike but they are not going to do that much for speed. Crashing DA in a crit would be not great. Dura Ace Di2 is going 13 speed in the next week or two if rumors are correct. That puts this at 2 gens old which will hurt the value of 11 speed DA Di2. I would wait for the launch before making an offer. Consider a new Allez Sprint 105 twelve speed mechanical @ $2.4k and buy some wheels. Going Trek would be 2.1k for mech 105.
With the new DA around the corner this feels more like a low to mid 2k bike more so than a 3k bike.
