Vintage ALAN Record aluminum road frame, 55x56, gorgeous condition! - $700 (oakland north / temescal)
QR Code Link to This Post
Size 55x56, 100mm front, 129mm (basically 130) rear.
No paint to chip, no chrome to pit… just lustrous anodized aircraft-grade aluminum tubing and lugs throughout. Ovalized top-tube for easy portaging, downtube shifter bosses, cable guides for rear brake and rear derailleur. I replaced the original decals with fresh ones from Velocals -- they've since seen a touch of wear but are still in great shape.
Includes Campagnolo C-Record headset, Campagnolo seat binder bolt, and a 118mm Shimano sealed-bearing cartridge bottom bracket. I can also probably provide you with a simple seat post as well (ALANs use a 25.0 diameter seat post, a rather weird size).
ALANs have a storied history, winning "20 World Cyclo cross Championships, 5 World Track Title Championships, numerous classics wins, as well as stage wins in the Tour de France, Giro D’Italia, and Vuelta De Espana", according to ALAN themselves. Jan Heine from Rene Herse races cyclocross on a vintage ALAN himself!
Asking $700, cash only please. This is a pretty middle-of-the-road price for an ALAN frame alone (check eBay), and this one includes a C-Record headset, bottom bracket and seat binder bolt — maybe even a seat post (if I can find it, lol). The only reason I'm letting it go is that I need to thin the pack!
