Hi nine14six,

Love it!!! Congratulations and thanks for your updated pics.

You would be the one to pick up on that. :D

That has to be one of the nicest executions of modern wheels on a vintage bike I've seen. Beautifully done all around!

Very pretty, nice job on the build. Nothing like a shiny natural aluminum finish. I had an Alan, but it was a lot plainer.

I thought Alan was named from the two kids names??

I've got a blank one, mine with canti bosses. Still debating on stickering up or not. Nine yours looks awesome.. got me thinking stickers is the way to go.

Edit- Nine, what kind of finish did you put on the toobs.. is it fully polished up all the way?? Mine's looking a little dull but I don't want to go too far.

Thanks Riva. It looks like yours is a cyclocross frame.

On mine the tubes are anodized and they were clean and shiny. The lugs and dropouts are in bare aluminum and I was able to get a pretty decent polish on them.

You're right on the name. According to the AlAn USA website it's a combination of the owner's two children's names.

Just wondering where you picked up the decal set? All I have been able to find don't come close to the ones on mine.

Ken.

Edit:

OOOPS, Looked a bit deeper into the ebay ad linked later in this thread, and see they have different styles. Will contact them
