I'll have to have another look at those dropouts but I could have sworn the y were Campy, but I've never seen an Alan before. Whatever they are they looked real nice.

It's a real nice frame, in good shape, except that one aluminum lug, and from what I have read the lugs and tubing are screwed together and epox ied. It does have the engraving on the front of the lug. Beautiful frame, it's a shame it has that crack.

The guy I spoke to who had it for sale says he took it to his aluminum weld ers and said it would be an easy fix, but somehow I think that may not be the case.

Hi Jesse, I suspect you may be mistaken about the Campy dropouts ... as this would be the first to have them. On-topic ALAN dropouts are all aluminum. By the wreath engraved in front, we do know it is an ALAN.

I'm keeping this off-list, because I don't know for SURE, but I think t hat might be a fatal crack for your frame. It will be interesting to hear what others more enlightened on repairing aluminum will have to say ... if any even chime in. Please keep me in the loop.
