Alchemy vs Allied
Hi, after many mass production bikes (Cannondale, Felt, etc.) I'm leaning towards either the Alchemy Atlas or Allied Alfa Disc for something different. As I can't test ride either, I'm having a difficult time deciding as the builds are also the same.
Has anyone ridden both or at the least- have opinions on either? Thanks! |

Between just the two, Alchemy bikes are tube-to-tube construction and can be made with custom geometry. Allied are molded and only come in stock geometry. Between the two, I'd go with Alchemy, but for custom carbon, some of the other options suggested in this thread are worth considering.

If narrowed to those two brands...you could plan a mini-vacation to a city that has both of their retailers for true comparison.

. . . I of course would also choose an Argonaut or Crumpton, funds permitting - actually, I'd get a Holland HC..... Last edited by Clean39T; 01-14-2020 at 10:22 PM. |

Seriously though, the Allied I had was exceptional - and I love that they make their own forks in house, which I don't believe Alchemy does.

Umm, didn’t you have an Argonaut for a day or two?

A Holland even over a Crumpton? I do note that I get bike envy when I see a Holland carbon even when I’m on a Sarto or Parlee.

I've had a thing for the red fade paint on the Allied for a while now, however I've never ridden one so can't comment on the ride quality. |

Yes, for the Mike Lopez fork and history of Bill's building - nothing against Crumpton, just a personal preference.
