Re:

Loved my Allez, my first plastic bike.

I loved it right till I went down a ditch and broke off the head tube entirely when both upper & lower head tube lugs cracked due to the impact. Not the bikes fault and it was a big clip.

Less big was an identical frame hanging in my mates garages. We concluded that the bottom bracket lug bonding had failed as the seat tube was pulling out of the bottom bracket lug :shock:

Both replaced under warranty back then, my failure that 'caused' the crash and his for, well, 'overuse' (hanging in the garage)

Yours is most likely fine of course, but just check that the tubes are still fully bonded into the lugs. Maybe tap the metal lugs to see if the sound seems a little off.

That's a great build there
Really liking the component choice as well as the colours of components. Looks really smart, well done.
Wishing you many happy miles
