eBay and Craigslist finds

and p.s. what the hell is with that red chain though?
who would commit such an atrocity?

No way it's going to fit you.
And going to end at a too high price anyway.
Alan frames are rubbish.

are they?
seriously, this is something i really wanna address...
I'm not a fan of aluminium to be honest, but everyone and their mother seems to wax lyrical about how amazing riding an ALAN frame is.
they certainly look well made.
the thing is, i always feel like i could lose another cm or two on my seat tube, and gain a cm or two on my top tube - like a 50 CTT - 53 TT sizing. is that odd?
i have short legs :(

ALANs are super flexy which isn't great for a track frame.

But there are so few around, which makes them desirable.

Alans are super flexy.

I had an Alan Record. 1982.

My cadence (is that right spelling ?) is not high so the Alan was no good for me.

Great for slim, little guys, who like to pedal fast....

There's a destickered ALAN track frame knocking around London somewhere, purchased from Tour de Ville and nicked from a pal.

Did anyone get that gorgeous baby blue Serotta at lunchtime?

Thankyou for outbidding me and saving my marriage :)

Someone got a bargain.

^ It was @ £275 for days and days and me and the winner threw in a snipe within seconds of each other. Seller was advertising it on Retrobike and other spots so no way I thought it would go so low...

ruddy nora.

i was bidding on that for my misses too!

Rather dull, but a pleasant colour, and very usable. I quite want the saddle, but Im not buying a bike for the saddle.
