I THINK there was some contract-deal in the '90s (maybe later) that ALAN produced frames for, it's POSSIBLE this is a fork from that arrangement. Hope somebody who remembers thing will chime in.
But I also looked for any frame that had top tube cable routing, those DOs where the seat stays are bolted on, and that seat lug.
There are a couple, see post 23 (it's an all CF Olmo) but also see post 37 (Salmagundi with CF rear)
Re-branded ALAN frames: a list
Could still be a variation on the R-30 but maybe later than '90
Wow ... Quite the sleuthing! It does look to be a variant of the R-30. Looking at those two frames I did notice the entry of the top tube routing of the brake cable is from the underside of the top tube. Mine is from the top side.
Will pick through that thread to see what I can glean.
