Hello weekendwarrior, welcome to the forums.

Great ALAN you have there. Chombi and Gary covered most ground already, let me just narrow the year down for you: it's either a 76 or a 77. In 77-78 the dropouts were different and the downtube had bosses for the shifters. It's a competition model, per the bolt on seat stays. The gold colour is great.

One thing though, you have the old fork with the alloy steerer tube and round fork blades: these forks have a reputation for breaking. On one of my ALAN's, I swapped it out with a comparable steel chrome fork made by Columbus, just for peace of mind.
