Help me identifying my Alan Bike
I recently bought a aluminum Alan bike, which I think is from 1988.
the ID that is recorded under the seat is CMB188.
Can someone help me to identify the year and model?
Here is a picture of the bike

I am not sure about the year but it appears to be a Cyclocross frame.

Thank you Bianchigirll
From what I've read, I think this is a Alan Competition frame (Alan Super Record and Competition - The differences) and the number (188) I think that means it's from January 1988. But i don't know what means CMB before the number. I think it's the model, but witch one?

Bikes: No-name LH drive track. Also ride an Exxon Graftek, a Masi, a Trek R200 or a RR Boneshaker for fun!

As to the "CMB" prefix, I'm afraid I'm not of any help since your bike is nearly a decade newer than mine and the numbering system changed at some point.
