I've also got an Allan which I bought here. Don't know what to do with it. Too small for me.

look like pentagons rather than hexagons in a traditional allan key / bolt?

a type of security bolt, cos thieves carry allan keys. somewhat ironic that The alan does have allan bolts!

your need yourself a set of pentagonal wrenches.

Now if you were a proper height then it'd fit

It'd fit me of course, but there's the little matter of that bike being in Ghana and me being in the UK.

Yeah that's the problem of course. I can ship it via DHL . If you're interested I can get a price.

@cyclops - I'd hate to think what the price, plus import tax, is but if it's not inconveniencing you. It might then help if you decide to sell it on here.

Just finished this 1975 Alan. Running full Campagnolo. Very light and rather quirky in design. Got frame off flebay and sourced components.
