I forgot all about this carbon Alan I build in the 80s. It's been hanging in the carriage house for 20 years. Shimano Dura Ace groupo ?
I had an Italian Masi Gran Criterium from 69 or 70, (pre-Carlsbad move) that I built in high school but a Senior Triathlete bought it about 8 years ago because he wanted to ride something vintage.
After a trip to the cycledrome in Long Beach, this Alan was built as a Fixie (single speed fixed gear bicycle) but after two laps around the block that silliness stopped.
After years on the Masi, the Alan carbon had a smother ride but do to my lack of spin technique, the frame flexed like Stretch Armstrong.
I guess we could call this a barn find?
