ALAN has won 20 cyclocross world championships with their name on the frameset. They won several more on rebadged frames (e.g. Guercotti, Olmo, etc.)

I still believe that ALAN has won more than anyone else. If you think this is not true, name another maker and the number of championships won.

Trivia Question : How many bike makers have rebadged ALAN frames ?? ALAN makes probably one of the most rebadged frames in history. Can you name all of the re-badgers ??

Another factoid. Even though the screwed-and-glued aluminum frames were discontinued in 2002, the screwed-and-glued carbon frames live on.

I just talked to an ALAN rep at http://www.nordista.com by email today.
