I think the 'bolt on' rear seat stays place it as an earlier example on an ALAN Carbonio and I wonder if it was made on contract for another bike manufacturer? I also think the ALAN decals on the front fork are an added enhancement and I wonder of the ALAN head tube badge is also an added enhancement?

It's an interesting frame and one I would love to have come across. I wonder if the tubes have been painted and, if so, how easy would it be to remove the paint?

27.2 diameter seat post is interesting. I really don't know what diameter seatpost the ALAN Carbonio's used? Interesting? (As opposed to the Alluminium ALAN frames that used a Dia. 25mm seatpost.

Nice frame.
