  DECALS / TRANSFERS / STICKERS from CYCLOMONDO

  Just a bit of feedback about the ALAN decals from Cyclomondo on ebay. He had five ALAN styles to choose from, I needed style D. I must say I am very happy with them, very high quality materials used and they look identical to the original decals on my frame - very authentic. He sends instructions for wet or dry application, whatever you choose.

  He has a very good range of brands to choose from so chances are you will find what you need. He's sold over 3800 decals in the last 12 months.

  Cheers

  Glad to hear it, because I bought them last night then when I went to pay I realized they were listed in US dollars. I'm an Aussie buying on the Australian ebay site, everyone trades in Australian dollars. Unfortunately the AU dollar has taken a huge dive in the last month against the US dollar so I was a bit annoyed with myself for not noticing it.
  So thanks, that's good news. Cheers

  I just purchased new ALAN decals on ebay from a seller in Australia in style D - black letters. I'll update on the quality when I get them. Here is a link http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Alan-decal-set-Choice-5-styles-vintage-/300434648193?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Cycling_Parts_Accessories&hash=item45f34cec81

  try again.
  See the oval top tube from a side view and underneath. I read somewhere the top tube was flattened into this oval shape so you could carry it on your shoulder more easily. That would make sense for cyclo bikes, perhaps.

  Cheers.

  Hi DC, My bike is stamped SPRITN485, perhaps that's how the Italians spell 'sprint' Mine has the oval top tube as well, it's only oval in the centre then rounds out at each end to fit into the cluster. see photos. Perhaps this made the frame stiffer for sprinting. I also noticed that some ALAN frames have black painted cutouts (clusters) and others don't, mine is plain.
  I'd appreciate Mr FALCONI's email address in a PM if you have it, Thanks.

  Hi Dutch Cheese, I saw you comments on this thread re ALAN frames and thought you may be able to help me, or anyone else who may know. I bought a silver ALAN anodized aluminum frame new in August 1985, built the bike but then had a car accident and stored the ALAN for 25 years. Just unearthed it and I was trying to find out exactly what model it is. From the info you provided I thought mine is the Super Record model, not the Competition - great. But, then I saw the date code on the frame under the seatpost says 'SPRITN485' and searching the net I found a bike called an ALAN Sprint Record. Just wondering if you know of this model, and where does it sit amongst the other models on the desirability scale.
