Wow! that polished up really really nicely! Beautiful early Alan!:thumb::thumb:
I didn't know that Alan made bikes for other marques even in their earliest days. Do you have any information for us on Ciclo Gamba of Bergamo? |
Alan make frames for many manufacturer without signed: Gitane, Guerciotti ...... and also store that sold under their brands.
My bike am part of the bicycles sold by the stores. http://www.cicligamba.it/cms/ |
Awesome. You cleaned it up really good! Nice too that it came with super record.

The Modolo Professional are ready to be rack mounted, they were disassembled, degreased and reassembled, it was just lack cocottes, I know where there is, but it is not free.

So is Modolo the brand? I don't know them at all. One of my recent aquisitions has Modolo Corsa brakes which look similar.

"Corsa’s looking very agricultural compared to the pro models. Rough untreated forged light alloy calipers, no hand polishing here"
Pretty accurate description! Thank you Mr F! |
Y a pas de quoi. :)

Modolos were pretty sweet brakes but they tended to have crummy pads; I'd swap the pads out. Really, really pretty brakes though. I have a pair of the brake levers on one of my old racing bikes; you can use the black dia compe hoods if you don't mind that it's not period correct. They work well though. By the way, I have to ask, qui il l'homme de la pampa? On parle francias.

Good that you shined up the 'lugs' it will make the cracks that happen in them easier to see.

That's going to be a jewel Mr Fernand. I bought Modolo hoods on eb from Boulder bicycle once, maybe they still have them.
|
Looking lovely. I like your component mix especially the Modolo pro's. I'd be looking for the Modolo gum hoods (if at all possible) to go with the colour scheme.
|
Beautiful! And light too :)

Modolo 919 Anatomic Brake Hoods RARE Translucent Bronze Fit Campagnolo | eBay What is the datecode on your RD? Looks to be a first-generation Super Record (in post #18 ) vice the later version shown in the first set of photos. Looking good - I've never seen the lugs shine up so well on one of those Alans! DD |
That has cleaned up lovely, just be careful pressing in the headset cups to the head tube as a lot of these frames have been scrapped due to too much force used when fitting the headset and cracking the alloy
|
I saw the hoods on eb, I would like the black, but I'm not Bill Gates, I'm not going to put $ 120 in plastic.
Why not translucent. The Super Record derailleur is 1976 is a first generation. http://i39.servimg.com/u/f39/18/14/35/89/img_3426.jpg http://i39.servimg.com/u/f39/18/14/35/89/img_3427.jpg What is the RD? I have cleaning the aluminum with Belgom Alu http://i39.servimg.com/u/f39/18/14/35/89/31iajo10.jpg |
