Thought I would throw this up there, although I'm not sure it will be to everyone's taste here. Some of you may remember my personal weight loss challenge a while back. I used this Alan-built Gitane as inspiration to get from 178lb (my weight at the time) to under 150. Anyhow in a moment of hilarity I decided that I was "light enough" at 170 to ride it and my Falstaffian girth cracked the fork steerer. It took me more than a year to find a replacement Alan fork (this time with a steel steerer) which then had to be re-threaded and re-sized. In any case I am now 140 so well under the weight limit for the frame and also for the Topline cranks, which I believe is 150.
