I did not like the Alan's that much, way too flexy for me. Others liked them, but I do remember the bonding issues. For us unsponsored guys, we couldn't afford premium dollars on a bike with those kind of potential problems. The guys I knew who rode them basically had Daddy's money to spend on the bike. The rest of use were buying used frames from each other, mixing Campy and Suntour, cheaping the pedals, riding tubulars for training and saving sew-ups for race days. But I digress
