ALAN is an Italian bicycle manufacturer.

History

ALAN was founded in 1972 by Falconi Lodovico, an engineer who had worked for bicycle manufacturer Torpado.[1] The name ALAN comes from the first two letters of Lodovico's children, Alberto and Annamaria.[2] It was the first company to introduce an all aluminium bicycle frame made from aerospace grade aluminum.[3]

In 1976, ALAN was again first in developing and manufacturing a production carbon frame[4] made by bonding Torayca carbon fibre composite tubing to cast aluminium lugs. This is a process still widely used today by many manufacturers.

Over the years the firm's frames were ridden to 20 cyclo-cross world championships titles, 5 track world championships titles, numerous one-day classics wins, as well as Grand Tour stage wins.[5]
