Sometimes a project is 99% finished and then somehow just gets left for a while. I got that far with my Alan a couple of years ago and then stopped for a while and just hung it up on the wall as an ornament. Truth is the reason that it stalled was that I wanted to finish off the full Campagnolo spec but was a bit bowled away by the price of a decent set of aero pedals.
After a good while of sitting looking at it all forlorn and pedal-less I resumed the search with adjusted expectations of how much I would have to pay. After a while adrift on the bay of e a pair floated my way, they're not perfect but they're not half bad either. Seemed like a good opportunity for the Alan to see some metal polish and daylight. So here it is in all its completed glory, shiny and be-pedalled.

| Love this cycle. The only cycle I have that is a nostalgia trip for me. All the stuff I couldn't afford as a teenager! |
 |
| Campag delta brakes. Magnificent folly. |
 |
| Excessive complication for no gain but beautiful to look at. |
 |
| No cycle of the era is complete without a Rolls saddle. |
