Alan usually just re-branded their frames to sell to other makers as their own without too much modifications. In fact, some of them actually retain some Alan pantographing (Like the CF ones they made for Nishiki) combined with the other maker's graphics and labels. Only one that was a bit different from the standard Alans was the CF/Aluminum bike they made for Guerciotti. It had CF main tubes and and aluminum rear triangle and forks. I haven't really seen any Alan sold bikes having the same combination of materisl in a frame. They were usually either all aluminum or all CF tubed. They must have done it per request of Guerciotti.
