Great!, Can't wait to check out your ALAN, Randy,
I suspect it's aluminum? (didn't ALAN also make a carbon version?).
Thought of looking for an ALAN for myself this year, but the Italian threading kinda threw me off as I was already putting together a group with BSA threading. Too bad, cause I really like the looks of the ALAN bikes. Maybe if I force myself to find and buy an italian threaded BB one day, it could give me an excuse to look for the frame......
