Description:
ALAN was founded in 1972 by Falconi Lodovico, an engineer who used to work for bicycle manufacturer TORPADO. The name ALAN comes from the first two letters of the Lodovico's children, Alberto and Annamaria. It was the first company to make a bike that was completely aluminium, using the same kind of aluminium that is used in aeroplanes. In 1976, ALAN was again first in developing and manufacturing a production carbon frame made by bonding Torayca carbon fibre composite tubing to cast aluminium lugs. This is a process still widely used today by many manufacturers.
Over the years, the company's frames were used to win 20 cycle-cross world championships, five track world championships, and many one-day classic races, as well as Grand Tour stage races.
For a long time, steel was the most popular material. They made frames for all levels, from beginners to top-of-the-line. But in the late 1970s and early 1980s, bicycle frame builders started experimenting with different materials for the frames and forks, like aluminium, carbon and even wood.
The ALAN Super Record is an aluminium frame with lugs. This is a very unusual combination because most aluminium frames did not have external lugs and featured welded joints. ALAN didn't use any welding or brazing. Instead, the tubes were screwed and glued into the lugs. This makes them very light, lighter than most steel frames.
I'm happy to offer an early 1980s aluminium ALAN with a Campagnolo Gran Sport groupset in perfect original condition.

About me
A few years ago I caught the cycling bug.
It all started when I wanted to sell my old everyday racer because I simply didn't like it anymore.
But when I realized that it only needed cosmetic surgery, my love for my work with bicycles began.
In the meantime, I have given a new life to several bikes and helped many enthusiasts to get a good bike.
