Italian niceness...1980 Alan Super Record

[GGJ]

Haha, thanks for the kind words everyone, I also hope it's sweat smokeysmoo

I posted this in another thread but will also post here to keep it all together as it's to do with the ALAN


This is a set of Mavic 500 hubs that I had built onto some NOS Mavic Open 4 CD rims last year for my ALAN

These hubs take standard 7 speed blocks

19T-13 left and 21T-12 on the right

This is the wheels built up

and fitted with Maxxis C1115 tyres

Will you stop it or I'm going to have to go for a lie down in a dark room

Me too, I've quite a hard-on!

 

[GGJ]

Took the ALAN out of storage yesterday put some air in the tyres and went for a spin round the yard (that's about as far as my injury will allow) and then sat in the sunshine admiring it

I am sorry to hear that you are unwell perhaps you should think about giving up cycling and having that bike around will only tempt you to go out and this could make things worse for you. As a compassionate gesture, if you put it back in the box and send it to me I will pay half the postage. Let me know.

@GGJ I'd happily pay ALL the postage costs. TBH the bike will be too small for me, but I'd also be happy to have a section of my legs removed so that I could ride it. Let me know

 

[GGJ]

Hmm, one want to pay half the postage costs, another wants to pay all the postage costs and have is legs amputated below the knees...

I'll have a think about it and let you both know

Stunning, the metallic paint looks excellent! I'd love a lugged aluminium frame, spotted a tidy looking metallic deep purple Vitus for sale at Sherwood trail centre earlier this year, but the budget wouldn't allow it!

 

[GGJ]

I had a Vitus 979 Dural back in the 80s, lovely fast bike. It was kitted out with the Mavic SSC 7 speed groupset

Oh my goodness! What a pretty bicycle.

 

[Smokin Joe]

I'd kill for that.
