Get it now, feel brave and open your Paul Sherwin ‘Suitcase of Courage’. One of the most memorable quotes from the 2011 Tour de France commentary by Sherwin and Liggett.

Alan Bicycles: First in the world to make aluminium and carbon frames In 1972, ALAN was the first company to introduce an all aluminum frameset made from aerospace grade aluminum. Just a few years later in 1976, ALAN was again first in developing and manufacturing a production carbon frame made by bonding Torayca carbon fibre composite tubing to cast aluminium lugs, a process still widely used today by many manufacturers.
