I am contemplating buying a Alan cyclocross frame
I had a sort of distrust against aluminium frames because their "fame" for comfort is not widespread ( truly I don't know)
but I have read that these alan frames are actually comfortable
but are they because of their bonded structure ( like the vitus 979 which are said to be quite flexy ) or not ?
they also seem to be quite frequent and appreciated in "cyclocross past" ,is there a specific reason ?
Furthermore , I have read that for these alan frames , tubes were not only glued but also had a thread so better for solidity over the long term than the vitus glued only frames.
So comment welcomed on these alan frames :idea:
