I’m looking forward to the reaction this will have from our readers. Luca Mincarini sent in these images of an Alan he built up with a set of handlebars that lend it a distinct ‘café-racer’ stance. Luca tells me that, due to the TT-esque riding position, the acceleration and cornering ability is amazing. Regardless of the purists’ verdict, it achieves the same result clip-on or upside-down handlebars did to a Triton or BSA Gold Star around London’s Ace Café.
