ALAN

l just can't get it right at the moment.....one is too small and the other is out of my league (and just a bit too shiny) !http://www.ebay.fr/itm/Velo-ALAN-Fu...?hash=item3ae1ed115b:g:spQAAOSwol5Y4od0:cuppa:

Wow what a beaut.

I love Alan bikes. I have one in the loft. It is anodised deep red and has a mixture of parts (Mavic and Superbe Pro). It was my race bike when I had a 30" waist!

I wouldn't recommend buying one unseen. Although the joints are screwed as well as glued, you really want to check them, especially the fork crown.

They ride so nicely though.

That's exquisite. Shame its in wimp size.

I saw a young girl riding one here recently, probably her fathers. You get all sorts.

I expect @Alan Frame could give you a run down on the marque

You could stick it up on the mantle piece as a bit of decoration !

Ahh, I had forgotten that one had the crack, to be fair it is mentioned in the ad, but it is a warning that buying unseen is a bit of a risk.
