Looks to be an Alain Michel built frame, the three circular cutouts in the lugs is something he was known for (that or a singular circular cutout). It looks to be pretty high end with fastback stays + chromed rear triangle and nicely drawn out lugs. Could well be Super Vitus 980 tubing which is the top tubing from the era when this was likely built. However that Red/Orange sticker on the forks was used for Super Vitus 971 tubing which was slightly earlier than 980 and had a wall thickness of 0.9/0.6mm, so a decent tubeset but nothing special.
A picture of the BB shell would help identify it further (is there 'RGF' stamped on the non drive side?), and maybe there is a frame number either there on the underside of the BB shell or on the fork steerer? Are the dropouts branded?
Anyway, lovely frame
