All original apart from brake levers.

Lovely. Larger than 54cm surely? How's it put together?

Sorry 59cm. Must have been thinking of something else. Pressed together.

 

[Slioch]

That's gorgeous. Not jealous at all.

Being nosey - when you say "into collection". how many are you at now 😊

 

[BalkanExpress]

Ohhh, I used to have one of those.

Fast as anything uphill or on rolling terrain . A bit “interesting “on descents and that was a 57cm.. Watch out for breaking spokes on thr back wheel, I had to get mine rebuilt under warranty .For all the foibles, it was a fun ride, I hope you get lots of fun miles out of it.

I'll get my Alan out of the loft to post at some point soon. It has been retired as the fork steerer moves in the crown! I loved the ride it gave though.

I think I have 19 built and another 7 or 8 frames plus a tandem Peugeot in line.

Cool bike. Get it out and fix her up. Would love to see it.

Lovely. Particularly like the blue/white stripe detail, is it painted or are they decals?

 

[ExpatTyke]

Lovely bike - really wanted either a Comete or an Alan back in my youth.

Really smart looking machine , sad to hear stories of bike shops in the US sawing up frames when they were withdrawn from sale.....

Decals.

Lovely bike, and a good job.

But where are all these barns with bikes left in them? Us city dwellers don't stand a chance.)
