WimVDD's neo retro 1985 Alan Competizione cyclocross bike.

Last January I got myself a Cannondale CAADX gravelbike and although a very nice bike to ride, I missed the lightness and responsivity of the CX bikes I used to ride back in the nineties. Disc brakes on a CX are fantastic but the CAADX felt more like riding an army tank than a crossbike. So when I recently got this nice ano red 1985 Alan Competizione offered, I couldn't resist. I wanted to ride this bike so I choose to go modern on it. Still had a 10 speed Force groupset and some other spares and this is what came out.

Some very special machines once again this month :)
I am really liking the Alan myself, maybe because we're getting into cross season once again.

Love the paint on the LOOK... I'm sure me and my brother had matching shell suit tracksuits in that colour #80's :cool:

beautiful. I have a similar wallhanger (including team jersey) from the nineties' Ceramiche Ariostea team. So you have my vote. ;-)
