I absolutely loved my ALAN even though I did end up selling it. The bikes are very light, when compared to most other vintage road bicycles. The handle well, accelerate well but are a wee bit flexible, if you are strong and heavy(like me). That said, the ALAN was much nicer to ride than was my Vitus 979.

If I get another chance at an ALAN, I will grab it in a heart beat. As for being collectible - they are Italian, aren't they. Imminently collectible. The fellow who bought mind in Thailand, paid close to a grand for the bike shipped, and shipping was only $225.00.
