On episode 60 of the podcast, we chat to the internet’s favourite drillium enthusiast about his “alter ego”, spending 18 months sourcing a chain, and why a steel bike with rim brakes is really all you need…

And, in typical Campag Kid style, the build itself wasn’t exactly straightforward.

“I had to have that chain on that bike. And that kind of detail is really pretty obsessive, along with all the drilling of course – 260 holes, by the way, in that rear mech.” Due to his clear and vibrant obsession with all things two wheels, it’s perhaps surprising that Alan’s career has largely focused on modes of transport with engines. As a transport designer, he has worked on everything from Triumph motorcycles, aircrafts, and “most of the cars you see on the road everyday”.

“When you embark on a career in transportation you’ve got to be really careful, because there are lots of things that don’t fit right with the way you want to do things,” he admits.
