The thinking man's Vitus/Alan, and much rarer, the Altec was a Stronglight built aluminium lugged and tubed road frameset, bonded like the others. The lug work is much finer and the finish is (having owned all three, and a Sakae Litage or two) probably the best with lovely anodising. This frameset has three annoying features: quill setapost; French threaded BB and French threaded headset, luckily I have resolved all three problems for you as it comes with a Stronglight quill seatpost, a Stronglight headset and a NOS Mavic 600 RD French threaded BB.
Top tube = 53 cm centre to centre
Seat tube = 49 cm centre to centre
126 mm spaced rear end
It has a few knocks and one of the plastic brake cable guides has a split in it but overall it's very good for an 80s frame.
I also have an almost complete (except for the brake levers) Mavic groupset with wheels that'll work a treat for this available separately.
