I first seen an ALAN when i was about 10 years old and from that day on always wanted one, 31 years later i've got my own one, got new old stock frame on ebay then got a lot of new old stock and some used components, i'm really happy with the finished bike just need to remember where i put my cycling legs (haven't cycled for 20 years) :shock: as im using it for getting to work for the next couple weeks (30 miles a day) till insurance pay out for my written off car, and thanks for replies to my silly questions :roll:
