The first one I remember seeing was a Guerciotti/Alan in the late 70s, which was
probably several years old. At the time it seemed pretty exotic, and for cross,
extravagant. I didn't see another cross frame for several years, despite cross
being fairly popular. One reason for this was you didn't need a "good" bike,
which is why that Alan seemed so extravagant. Normally a garage sale special
was fine, as long as it didn't have steel rims.
