Another 585 owner here, this time the 585 Optimum with 105-5700 & H Plus Son weighing in at around 7.6kgs. A really comfortable ride and I seem to be using it more than any other bike this year

My 1999 Paul Donohue built 853. I bought the frame & forks from GW last year and built it up with Ultegra 6600 groupset, 6700 wheelset and I recently managed to find a Corima Ellipse seatpost and Selle San Marco ODS seat to finish it off

If it is an authentic ALAN it should say "ALAN" on the BB shell

Found on another forum, unsure where to post so thought this might work
Hopefully the original owner will get his/her bike back
We’ve seized a bike we think is stolen – and we need your help returning it to it’s owner.
This morning a man was arrested on suspicion of robbery and when we searched his house in north Bristol we found this bike. It’s a Yeti ASR full-suspension mountain bike which is custom-built and unique to its owner.
If this bike is yours, or you know whose it is, please contact Bristol CID on 101

Nice to see another Donohue built G.W. frame. I bought my Donohue built 853 from Graham Weigh last year as a refurbished frameset and built it up with Ultegra 6600 and it's a fantastic bit of kit

This warranty can be transferred to a new owner as long as they contact VN and pay 150 euros or something? Need to confirm this.
Below is the details from the Van Nicolas website, just wondering if...
- You are the original owner?
- If not do you have a warranty certificate from Van Nicholas?
The majority of bicycle manufacturers warranties are only effective for the lifetime of the original owner. Traditionally this standard is used to decrease product liability risks involved in "used" bike sales from consumer to consumer. Van Nicholas now introduces a Titanium Frame Warranty Re-Certification Program, whereby consumers who are looking to sell or purchase a used Van Nicholas titanium bicycle or frame can send it directly to our office. Van Nicholas will inspect the frame for any potential damage or problems and ship the product back to the consumer with a new manufacturer's warranty. This is to be done by having the original owner send the bike to our office. This policy is to protect the second hand buyer against purchasing a damaged frame. Re-certification cost is $150/EUR€125. This fee includes return shipping charges.
- You are the original owner?

I've a Brooks Swallow Titanium which I've had since new and it has about the same amount of tensioning on the bolt from new

Been reading this thread with great interest, just bought myself a Fort RO.78.DB2 track bike and spent a week getting it on the road.

magnatom gets a conviction:
Helmet camera footage of a driver twice brake-checking a cyclist in Glasgow has resulted in the motorist, who turned out to be serving a driving ban, being convicted on four separate charges – dangerous driving, breach of the peace, driving without insurance and driving without a licence.
On Wednesday, the driver, who pleaded guilty in the face of the video evidence, was fined £375, banned from driving for 48 weeks and ordered to perform 150 hours of community payback.
The incident took place on Springburn Glasgow, on 28 April 2013. It was filmed by Dave Brennan, whose helmet camera videos, posted to YouTube under the name Magnatom, have been used on BBC programmes.
Makes one wonder if it would have gone to court if the driver had a valid license and insurance. Not what I would call a win for the cycling community.

...do you know which model it is? 380 means its from March 1980, but N?
My ALAN is stamped ALAN1080 so I think the 'N' could just be the way it was stamped earlier in the year
Looks like it might be the Record model, the Super record had thicker tubing and different lugs

Oof, sorry to see you missed your target Rowhan, sounds like you had a tough day
I completed my Gran Fondo 2 last Sunday, again on my single speed, bike, I even managed to have a bit more elevation than my Gran Fondo 1. The weather was not nice, raining when I left with winds gusting to 60mph as I went along the coast which made for an interesting riding style at 45 degrees angles. At least my plan for an easy ride home worked out well with the wind at my back and the last 20 miles were very easy with the south westerly gales blowing me back to base.
