I've only had the one ride and yes it does climb very well but at 90kg descending is more my thing.
Without being used to the bike, I felt very comfortable on one of my regular descents that contains very fast flowing corners as well as some tighter hairpins.
New bike syndrome aside, I think I am going to be very happy for the next year or two.

I couldn't help but like the 2014 Allez Limited so i ordered one and should get it early March, can't wait. I believe there were only 25 or so allocated to Australia and I'm pretty sure I got the second last. Talk about an impulse buy!! Oh well, we only live once.
Will post a pic when I pick it up.
Regards

I have had my eye on the 2013 S-Works Allez for quite some time.
Personally I believe the 2013 model is better looking & better specced than the 2014 one.

Had a rattle coming from the brake cable inside the top tube but my local BS fixed that. It was an impulsive buy that I am more than happy with. Looks great and has drawn a bit of attention on the weekend rides.
I was a little unsure to be honest as to how the Ally frame would go but I have to say it is very good. Works well with the Carbon front end and Roval CX 40's. Weighs in at 6.9kg.
Will post a pic when I work out how.

I have 2 sets of TWE wheels, similar to those above on the red Tarmac and might just sling a set of those in to start with and see how i go.
