I know the next generation of ALAN frame had a date stamp at the top of the seat tube on the right hand side. I think a model name accompanied the date stamp as well. I wonder if your ALAN has a date stamped in a similar position?

With the component mix it probably originated in France.

Best of luck on your first ride.
