Alan Super Record Frameset

The Alan Super Record Frameset
The Super Record represents the latest development of the Alan aluminum alloy frame from Italy. This frame utilizes a unique patented construction system of threaded tubing and lugs joined with epoxy adhesive. Thus it is not brazed or welded. The Super Record includes the following refinements:
1. The use of increased tubing wall thickness (2 mm) gives this frame a much stiffer ride and more efficient transmission of power than the standard Alan Competition model.
2. The redesigned fork with larger, beefier blades, new crown and ergal stabilizer adds to front end stiffness and makes the handling extremely positive.
3. The improved seat cluster has an integral stay connector for extra strength and appearance.
4. The frame is detailed with bottle cage fittings, shift level bosses, bottom bracket cable guides and dynamic cutouts in the lugs and fork crown.

Riding Characteristics
The Super Record Alan is a high performance road bike with excellent riding characteristics. Its positive quick handling and high bottom bracket make it a natural for the tightest cornering and maneuvering. When one pours on the power the solid stiffness at the bottom bracket and drive triangle assures maximum use of expended energy. At the same time one can roll out a lot of miles without experiencing fatigue from road jar and vibration. Alan has not sacrificed stability to achieve lightness. The Super Record is extremely stable and true tracking even on fast, sharp descents.
