I've got a new project so this has to go.
Dating from about 83-84 it's an early aero fillet brazed low pro. It's made from Reynolds 531c and was probably build by Argos frame builders.
It has Mavic 700c sprints, Continental LA tubulars with Normandy high flange hubs.
Measuring 56 cm centre to top seatpost and 57 centre to centre top tube.
Concor Profil saddle.
Mafac canti's and levers.
SR APEX chainset.
Suntour Cyclone 4000 rear derailleur.
Campagnolo C Record pedals
It has very tight clearances and is currently set up has a six speed. There are some unusual touches to the bike like the aero shifter, the rear mono stay and the expander bolt seatclamp.

Very interesting, a bit of a mixed bag of aero and non-aero features. (ie, lo-pro frame, fork mounted stem and non-concealed cables) It's my size too!
 
Yes I see what you mean but it is an early attempt at an aero tt bike. It's pre Cinelli LA bars etc and rare.
