A good post-beginner level road bike for £700?

Question

Have been cycling a Claude-Butler Levante I got off a mate for a couple of years, I want to get a nice bike and really put the miles in over the summer, (not that this is a temporary investment). I have been recommended Specialized Allez, but don't know why? Any other ideas?

I live in Bristol, (quite hilly), and I have all accessories that I want for time being, so £700 on the bike.

Cheers!

I suggest going to an Evans Cycles and taking a look at their range of Pinnacle bikes. They are well specced and solid.
