Yes, the two frames the shop sold were definitely built for children.

I added the Gamba name to the list (now 36 and counting!) thanks, Lattz but although I'm sure there were other-than-Carbonio models sold as Fanini, I'm trying to be consistent as far as only listing examples we have seen photo-evidence of (without a (?), and the Carbonio Fanini ALAN was certainly "real" because I owned that one!
But as always we welcome all additions to this list and the chance to update and make correx! |
and although some of the brands have made it to our list, we can keep eyes peeled for some of these "seldom seen" ALANs such as:
Torpado, Pavarin (any connection with the plastic shoe cleats?), Pagani, DBS, Monark and an Austrian RIH? Thanks again. Lattz! |

Okay this was fast. Radsport RIH is a 3rd generation bike shop in Vienna.
They build or built bikes with their own pantos in steel and really sold ALAN (and also Vitus) as well https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...007ccc89ec.jpg |
just for grins, these are the classic Pavarin slotted plastic cleats, but they also made similar in cast alloy metal and later models were "bolt-on" not nailed to your soles.

So here's what we have so far, brands are more or less in the order mentioned, where there was mention-only (no pix) I follow the name with (?). Where there was a specific Carbonio model with that brand I follow the name with (CF). There were a few decals (not frames) displayed so despite them being pix of decals I follow them with (?) but happy to edit any that eventually show up as frames or complete bikes. And to edit for any mistakes, typos, omissions... And don't forget some people, from a cycling shop or not, just put decals on an Alan, just because they have these. As this one I think. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...8e0865350b.jpg |

"The Rowona ís the Rof Wolfshohl, They combined Rowona and Rof Wolfshohl decals on the bicycles."
and so I combined both names in one listing. I'm avoiding digging too far into the weeds (i.e. minuscule details) so am not noting the distinctions such as precise models or iterations, nor which are CX or step-thru (Ladies) frames, etc. I think this would make a simple list too complicated (plus I don't have quite that much free time!) |
Mel Pinto Imports
Major for bringing AlAn to the States. Beautiful tribute build and presentation by Wayne Bigham / Velo Classique whom acquired Pinto's business. https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...09372a9f8a.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...a5a5ed8d66.jpg |

G. Fatato... I wonder if they liked the old TREK decals or the other way around

and lastly my eariler mentioned EUROCYCLES. I dig the "Fabbrication Francaise" HT decal. And yes, I'm really that stupid that finally I gig it out from the other end of the cellar room and forgot to take a full frame photo. Maybe in the next 10 years.

It seems like any shop that had even slightest racing aspirations was selling rebadged ALAN frames back in the day. Also, as mentioned by others, it's impossible to say when the decals were applied, so there will be some oddball cases here and there. That means that this list is gonna be pretty long.
Of the shops/brands not mentioned so far (apologies if I'm repeating any), here's what I have so far (there might be more among untagged pics - I'll add if I find any others). Since this would be way too many pics to post, unworthy1 , let me know f there are any off this list you'd especially like me to post.

O
M G !!! I thought [MENTION=468737]Lattz[/MENTION] was on the way to winning the record (does that even exist?) for contributing Most Entries Ever to this (for amusement only) trivia list. BUT NO. [MENTION=383399]MauriceMoss[/MENTION] has broken the record, the turn table, the stereo and closed the shop! I think the above may take over as "the list" and we can retire the earlier effort! At a glance I don't see obvious duplications...I wonder how the ALAN factory could possibly keep track of all these brands (and their stickers/decals), unless they just sold unmarked frames and said "have at it, my friends"! EDIT: well still pondering what to do with so many names, but I do see one duplicate (for a start) that was listed (no. 27) but uncomfirmed, so can you post a pic of Lazzaretti |

thanks again MauriceMoss the Super Record Lazzaretti has a particularly nice color anodizing (to me) but possibly a result of some fading over time and UV exposure. Still...a nice pale blue. And we got the correct spelling of Lazzaretti!
