Very Nice - whats the stem?
Stem? It is absolutely czech ordinary produced from cca 1963 to 1985 99% at 7cm and a few at 11cm. All bikes produced at CSSR used this stem. Typically communistic era. In early 90´ies we all replacing this short terrible stem to cheep ITM, RINO, 3TTT, Modolo...So, it is 2009, and I keep this steel/aluminum stem at left hand, and 100% aluminum slim Kalloy at right hand... Frame from 1978... Yes!!! Today I make old communistic favorit stem rehabilitation!!! And I am sure, that this stem was been installed at this frame of end of 70ies... Communists! FAK OFF!!!

This Alan has the Alan CX fork, presumably supplied with the Alan/Colnago too.
http://www.effettomariposa.com/public/Alan1000.jpgThank you for this pic. I googled "carbitubo", haha, it is patent of GILBERTO COLOMBO (Trafiltubi srl manufacture, producer of Columbus tubes, and GILCO designes), used with steel frame, Ernesto used this technology for steel frames too, and 1989 producing CARBITUBO (ALANized Colnago). I recommending VERY NICE TRAFILTUBI,GILCO,COLUMBUS web pages. Real porno... I like Italian design. Innovative, modern, and easy...

About 1991 Ernesto Colnago produced models named Carbitubo (road and timetrial, I have catalogue) custom made of ALAN. About this cyclocross model I dont know to this momment. Fork maybe not original (or not Alan product). Ernesto I mean have "doppio tube" patent, and this models is very innovative, and with VERY PRETTY Alan technology. THANK YOU FOR THIS PORN!!!!! But porn is not good term... Mr. Colnago and Mr. Falconi connecting... haha... -
Look like an Alan, but then I could be very wrong.
It is Look, Alan have another connection parts. But rear ends look same that Alan. Alan technology used Ernesto Colnago at Carbitubo frames early 90s (twice down tube), and germany Schauff for high-end trekking frames (Trocadero model).
I like old glued alu or carb frames (this Look), Alan (my heart), or Trek oclv...

Sweet LOOK frame. Sell on eBay and use the money to get a track frame.
Thank you for the compliment, because we re-edited the frame (cut-off puppies, colour, funny brands looks like Porsche), so do not for sell. Unfortunately, in the Czech market with track frames dont exist. I would like also bought some track frame, but I have ALAN TITANAL road frame, which is a rarity, too.

Hi from Prague and Budweiss. My friend finished (graduated) my work with precission brands Scattini (porsche font) and Wilson tennis tape grip. I feel good, if I saw this foto :o))))
And coaster brake (in czech language "torpedo") - it is czech culture. Fixed is not typical, but I respect fixed!
And in Prague I saw at last 2 months 2 or 3 singlespeed bikers... Prague is in prenatal situation (Prague have hills).

carbon frame btw :>
Yes!!! It is Carbitubo model with double down tube... Colnago and Sarroni idea with Alan technology! Sweet frame. A have Colnago catalogue 1991 with this frame, but no pista - for timetrial. On my opinion, crankset, seatpost and stem will be better silver... but black wheels are cool for blue/black frame. I feel too many "blacks". Or repaint frame to black (man in blacks), but repainting colnago... shit...
