ALAN Bicycle Restoration/Clean-Up Complete

Finally took some time today to finish up the long overdue completion of the 1979 ALAN Road Bike restore/cleanup.  Came out really nice and clean.  Actually much nicer than I expected.  Can't wait for the weather to change to take it for a spin!

Thanks to Wayne Bingham at VeloClassique for all his help and for supplying the hard to find bicycle parts to finish off the project.

Also learned a lot about truing wheels with this project thanks to Wayne.

1979 ALAN Bicycle - Cleaned up and Ridable!

Used some very cool CLB Cable Housing that I got from Velo Classique.  It comes in a variety of colors... I selected the blue of course.
