Hi there, thanks for this wonderful thread. I've just picked up my first Alan and seem to have potentially found another rebadge.

The first clue was that the frame looks like a late 70s model, but the world champs frame sticker went up to '85. Now I've got my hands on it, the frame stamp does indeed indicate 1979 and I can see through the paint fade that it wasn't born an Alan! It also doesn't seem to have Alan forks, if anyone can offer an ID on them that would be great, they have 'LG' embossed on the dropout as that's the only clue I can find.

I figure 'Bolley' is French, and that would make sense of the dress kit on the bike (simplex gears, maillard freehub, mavic hubs) but some initial searching doesn't seem to reveal anything I can latch on to (beyond a professional rider called Serge Bolley, whose career seems to have finished in 1972, so the dates don't really line up so well)

Unfortunately I have to rack up 10 posts to be able to put the pictures, so count this as 1 and a quick intro, I'll try to get some more up (without clogging stuff up too much) so I can get pictures up in due course.
