For Sale: A "spares or repair" Alan frame and forks

Posted on
  • 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.

  • Just seen the other threads - seems to be broken stuff day!

  • "Defiantly bent"? As in well out of the closet?

  • ?

  • to put it politely-its shagged. Throw away job on the frame, you'd never re-tube it. The hump in the top tube means its "humped" ie f*cked. A shame but there it is.

    RIP Alan

  • Ah well, shit happens eh? It's just SO pretty. Might have to think of another use for it I think
