I've used the 290 and 320tpi versions of these and both have cut and degraded FAST, and that's on typical British roads. No flint, no gravel, no pave, just normal riding, in less than 1 season. Sure they feel nice, but they just didn't last for me. I've since moved onto Conti Sprinter...

I sold a MINT Master Olympic frame and forks, sz 55 in red with chrome seat stays last year locally for £680. Mine was mint though and there were a good few keen bidders, hence the price. I suspect I was very lucky. I've seen them go for circa £200, and sometimes for much much more. Paste...

For the benefit of those who were watching the thread, I've just received an email response from Alan that reads: Hello, the Alan frame you have is an Alan Super made on half 70’s (1974-1976) for the french market with the Gitane name on it. Regards Alberto Falconi / Alan bikes So there we...

Thanks Andy, but I'm being "really picky". To some it might seem silly, but to me it's paramount. Thanks for posting though :)

Something akin to this?: (PM sent)

Good call, already did though. Ho hum.

Thanks for the post, Rusty. Funny you should mention the SSC group; I'm piecing one together for the build :) Still no news back from Alan by the way... I wonder why other's have had such success and not me? I don't want to send email after email for fear of just annoying them. Any ideas...

Cheers David, will keep an eye out. Have posted a wanted ad too but as yet no bites. Back to eBay...

After my recent thread in the 'Wanted" section, I thought I'd branch out and start a proper one. I'm looking for a 25mm post for my Alan Gitane, and it must be French. Does anyone know of what might be available with those criteria? I'm trying to avoid the obvious stuff, DA, Campag etc...

Good shout, I'll be watching that one... I'm looking for something French for my Gitane Alan, and finding anything in a 25mm is hard enough, let alone with my criteria! Anyone fancy lending me $200?!

Exactly! Except I don't have $200! But yes, that's the one. :)

Good call, thanks :)

Will consider anything 25mm and interesting. Not interested in any Shimano or Campag, I'm looking for a Stronglight really, but will consider all. Cheers!

edit

Cheers, found one nice and local.

I have indeed tried, but received no response what-so-ever. Tbh, I didn't expect one, but if you're saying you had better luck, perhaps it's worth trying again. Would you mind sharing the contact details? Many thanks

Repost from here: http://www.lfgss.com/thread82002.html#post2765118 Surrey County Council have recently appointed Councillor John Furey as the cabinet member responsible for transport and the environment. He recently spoke at a meeting (20/0212) in which he stated "can we advise Surrey...

Great link, thank you very much :) I had suspected it was the Competition but the cable guides had thrown me, especially as my previous bike did not have them. I have now learned they were an option. Cool! I've read about being able to date the frames using the size stamps etc but my seat...

Hello everyone, Im new here and am posting in the hope that someone here will be able to say one way or another, just which model and date my Alan frame is. I've posted on a good few forums and trawled them all senseless, reading lots of bits of contradicting information all over the shop...

NOS preferred, but $$ is limited so will consider anything. Thanks!
