Yes you are right to think 130mm rear spacing, It is running 8 speed Campag as you can see. I bought the frame on Ebay and it was advertised as an early 90's design but having trawled the net haven't seen another pic of one like it. It does get ridden and will make the trip to France, with the addition of a triple, to do the Col D'iseran this year.

Keep an eye out uk eBay as some nice frames have passed through recently for reasonable money - £200 to £400

The older Aluminum and Carbonio Alans had 25mm seatposts (size shared with the Vitus 979s) which tend to be harder to find and costs more. At least the more universal 27.2 seatpost spec on your bike will give you more options in the future if you ever have to replace it.
