I was scratching my head for a minute there wondering about your bike
I have an old glued and screwed alan in exactly that colour but the tapered headset and fork were really confusing me
After a bit of googling i have now learnt that ALAN still sell bikes
Are they still the same company or did someone buy the name?

It is the son who runs the business now, ALAN even is the shortname ALberto ANna-Maria, the daughter. So the brand was named after the kids. I bought the frame from Alberto. Cool story, isn't it?
You can order with custom geometry too, price is OK for Made in Italy. But it is interesting, since there are 1 or 2 other brands, with similar parts / tubes / dropouts / etc. For example 'Mason' had some frames a while ago which had similar parts, and I found another brand of which name I do not know anymore which were similar.

Finally I could mount the front rack after I got this week the bolts from the reseller:
