I'm honestly not sure if this is worth anything, but I thought it must be worth a post. This Alan frame/fork has taken a hit from the front in it's past life. Forks don't look quite right, and there appears to be a little hump in the top tube, near the "lug".
One thing this bike does have going for it is the fact it's an Alan, meaning it literally is glued together. I don't know if it's possible, but tube replacement on one of these has to be easier than on a normal frame.
These are a couple of pictures of the bike built up, and you can see that it looks a little odd. I honestly can't decide if it's just a fork issue (they're defiantly bent) and this hump in the top tube is something else, perhaps butting? hmm..anyway. Anyone fancy a challenge?
This link shows some pictures of a similar frame so you can the idea of some of the features. Mine's a 56/56 though.
