No sticker for the bike.
Connoisseurs know recognize a Alan, for other, they ask.

You should really buff that frame with some 9,000 grit 3m compound. It will jump out even more. Ride her till she breaks. Those can be re-bonded if necessary.

But the air freight bill to Italy and Back From NorthAmerica is expensive , they bill by Box size rather than weight. and charge for the Higher of the 2.
I wouldn't abrasive ( Any) buff through the anodizing color .. you will regret trying ..

Thank you all for your congratulations.
I made 74 milles with the in Ré island, it's a marvel.
Another Italian cycling (carbon) will soon come to the house, a new story begins.

Nice bicycle and nicely cleaned up, also. For what it is worth, I dragged a NOS set of Modolo gum hoods with me, all the way to Jamaica and back. Anyway...
I owned an ALAN and loved the bicycle. Sadly, it was too flexible for a heavy guy like myself...
