Collected a Specialized Allez Sport yesterday from Hargroves in Winchester, very helpful chaps by the way.
Had a little 15 mile jaunt when got home and just did 30 miles before work.
First impressions:
Riding clipped in initially feels easier but soon hurts as I'm using muscles not normally used when pedalling with flats!
British roads are shockingly surfaced and my arse is sore.
The 50t big ring is fine for most riding but when I tried to be a hero and get up a decent hill in it I managed to cramp up both thighs and had to jump of the bike and stretch them out!
I nearly fell like a tree when I couldn't unclip in time at some traffic lights.
All things considered though I am thoroughly enjoying a spot of lycra clad roadie-ism, pics to follow later as I'm at work and don't have any pics on my phone yet....

If its your first set of clippy pedals, you will at some stage topple over. I think its a rule.
