Hi, I've just too many bikes in my house and need to free up some space/money for new project(Pinarello Dogma AK61 magnesium 2008) so somethings got to give :cry: I'm looking to sell my lovely ALAN (dream bike when i was a lad) its in mint condition NOS frame and wheels, less than 500 dry miles...

Hi, looking for mint/NOS 28 hole C Record front hub with matching skewer for new wheelset build. Cheers, Gordon

Thanks for that, a bit gutted :( as i need 130mm spacing for my ALAN(not good to pull in rear stays on bonded frame) lovely looking wheels good luck with sale.

The distance between the outside face of the cones on the axle/spindle each side of the hub, it might be difficult with freewheel fitted tbh, it should be either 126mm or 130mm. If you measure the front hub spacing it should read 100mm, the spacing on the frame is the gap between the inside of...

wheels Can you tell me spacing on rear hub and are rims clinchers? Thanks Gordon.

Hi Citoyen du monde, lovely bike but for someone who is normally quite critical of other peoples previous entries, you seem to have strong views on how a retrobike should look (original or age related components, saddle angles, cable lengths, bar angles etc) so can you explain the fitment of the...

Thanks for the votes 8) i've been working away, just got home forgot i had entered :oops:

The funny thing is Alan dominated the world cyclo-cross championsips and supplied TDF teams with flexy and prone to break frames for years :? Tbh most of the negative stuff i've heard came from people who have never even ridden an Alan :evil:

8) bike, good to hear you have been riding your Alan for 23 years and she's still going strong, i've always loved Alans since i first seen one in the 70's but could never afford one in my youth. I built up a NOS 90's frame (current rBoTM entry) 6months ago but got a poor response from a couple...

I'm in the process of building a road bike for my girlfriend, i was given a Kenisis superlight? frame, might have been badged a GT? I've recently built a 1954 Flying Scot and an early 90's ALAN(current rBOTM entry) the Kenisis frame is more modern, more suited to a index system and i have no...
