ALAN SUPER RECORD 1976 VINTAGE ROAD RACE FRAME VGC & RARE. Complete with Shimano 600EX Alloy Headset. It is finished in an elegant anodised silver with all the ALAN decals and comes complete with a vintage Shimano 600EX HP-6207 headset which has very smooth bearings. In 1972, ALAN was the first company to introduce an all aluminium frameset made from aerospace grade aluminum. Just a few years later 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; a process still widely used today by many manufacturers. This is one of the most iconic frames alongside the Vitus 979, a true classic of cyclosport history which was revolutionary for its time which is highly prized by collectors today. The Alan was among the first wave of aluminium-framed bikes and designed for road race, cyclo-cross and sprint. I t was superior and superseded steel frames such as Columbus SLX or Reynolds 753 in the pro peleton. Over the years ALAN’s expertise in frame building, and its reputation for quality led to ALAN frames being ridden to 20 World Cyclo cross Championships, 5 World Track Title Championships, numerous classics wins, as well as stage wins in the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia and Vuelta a Espana In terms of condition it is very good. Yes, there are a few of the marks that one would expect of an original frame of this age but the frame is straight and true with no dents, dings or cracks. The decals are all in very good condition. This lovely frame would make a superb basis for a brilliant lightweight retro build with either a top flight Campagnolo, Simplex or Shimano groupset and Mavic wheels! Frame and Forks: Alan Aluminium.
