hi all, 1983 was most likely the year I got pushed of my Alan by a plonker in a mitsi car, needless to say after a while in hospital and an insurance claim, I came out of it all, after 6 weeks in hospital, with a much better bicycle, but at a cost, the insurance co would not insure my new bicycle, just cost them NZ$1100 on a NZ$1700 bicycle afterall. I sold that bicycle after 7-8 years use and funded my Klien, which I still have.....regards wayne davidson Invers NZ.......
