If the tubes fall out of the lugs it is Vitus. If the lugs crack it is Alan.
Alan use hollow lugs on the outside of the tubes like steel brazed frames. Vitus use solid lugs inside the tubes. Yours looks more like Vitus.

Gone already.

I'm pretty sure it was an Alan, very nice bike you have there

Thanks @curzons246 . Found it down here, nobody wanted it as mountain bikes are more popular. Way too small for me but I couldn't let it go. Paid about £40 for it. All original but no seatpost.

Nice ! Would you accept £50 and pop it in the post.

You joke but I'm going to find out how much to DHL it the UK. It's not getting any use here and I'd rather someone was getting some joy out of it. Small frame size though.

I think I'll give the bonded type frames a miss then...
