Blackmind,
Welcome to the forum.
You have one of the aero machines, possibly the Profil 3, with, what looks like, most of the Shimano 600 AX group - a very nice groupset indeed. The bike looks to be in lovely condition.
One of these super machines was posted last year. Here's the thread:

Thanks for the post and do post more photos.

| Not that design (regarding the decals). There are similar vintage decals available on Ebay from the seller "Cyclomondo", but he has not developed that design yet. If you take detailed photos and send them to him, he may actually make you some and make them available for purchase. It is worth a try. |

Nice bicycle...but check the rear derailleur. Something seems very wrong there. |
