Ah yes I saw that frame on your webpage. I really like the Alan's too. I see you're doing yours in nuovo record as well. I was going to go single chain wheel up front but seems a shame to not make use of the two Campag bar end shifters I have. I'm using it now actually with a mismatch of parts but have some record cantilever brakes and nuovo mechs to fit and the shifters of course when I have some time. I'm not a hardcore off roader and my mountain bikes don't get too much use anymore so this should suit my purpose perfectly. Mine has an 'ovalised' top tube which I thought at first damaged but I see yours has the same. What's all that about? Was it done purposely by the user for shoulder comfort or is it like that because of being squashed from being carried?
