Alan frame/ forks

[Midlife]

Nope, no problems that I recall. You may be thinking of the Viscount "death fork"

Re:

Yes, I remember those very well!

Just thought I had a vague recollection of the forks on Alan being aluminium and breaking on some models...

Re: Re:

Can anyone tell me, were there issues with the forks on these, or was that another model/type or only the older bikes...??

Early models had Aluminium steerer tubes and could break if treated badly or crashed, later ones have steel steerer tubes. My 84 model has the early version and shows no sign of breaking.

Re:

They were used quite extensively for cyclocross at top level so I would guess those were tough frames.
