Yep, one of my all-time favs. Those pics appear to be from theracingbicycle.com.

It's interesting that a 12 lbs. bike was being made back in 1936.

Having ridden my new-to-me ALAN last night, I have gained a whole perspective and respect for well-made aluminum bicycles.
This one is a beaut!

That's a wall hanger for sure.....I saw one a week ago at Classic Cycles in Winslow Washington. The owner said they didn't hold up long because of split tubes. Usually the fork. Such a beautiful bike though. Way ahead of their time.
