Alans are very nice bikes, specially the "Carbonio" model, that I find more interesting than their all aluminum frames.
Really beautiful detailing on the Carbonios that have moire interesting shaped Al lugs than their counterparts from Vitus. Only thing I find less attractive on the Alans are their frame fittings, like cable guides and stops that seem to be much more fragile than what is used on other bikess. So it's not unusual to come across used Alan frames for sale with cracked, missing or even crushed cable guides and stops. You will also have to find Italian threaded components for it.
