The frame is a Super Record. The frame is from sometime in the 80's, but this design originated before the CR cutoff, so I would say it is On-Topic. Some of the parts, like hubs, are On-Topic SR, others are slightly Off-Topic early Chorus or maybe post-C Record Record. It is true that most ALAN's, at least in the US, were sold as framesets. I have a 1981 Super Record which I built up with Zeus 2000.

I just recently won an Alan on eBay. I'm trying to determine whether the frameset is a Competition or a Super Record. It appears to have a melange of parts. Somewhere I heard that these were sold as framesets which could be equipped however the owner wanted. I believe the frameset meets the CR cutoff. I'd like to use this as my "daily" rider (as if I had the time!). Here is the eBay link. Anyone care to venture a guess? Any information would be greatly appreciated.
