I feel really lucky that the mid 80's was when I also had the best cycling years of my life, because the bikes were so great!
Here's my 85 ALAN Record Carbonio:
Chombi1, would you be so kind as to post a few more photos of this bike. My '85 aluminum version is so close, yet distinct.
Does your frame have a non-serial # date stamped on the tubing near the seat cluster?
I wish you lived closer. It would be really interesting to compare the ride(s) between these.
Thanks!
