I'd consider this a very low low mid-range model. As previously noted, it is very early 1990s. The Shimano 105SC components were good value for their price range. However, I have caveats about the frameset. The ADR livery was offered on a number of models. The Columbus SL versions typically had internal rear brake cable routing, a front derailleur braze-on and sometimes a chromed drive side chain stay. The subject frame has none of these features. Though the Columbus decal isn't legible, the frame features are more indicative of Bottecchia's Columbus Aelle tretubi frame, which is what was typically paired with Shimano 105SC during this era.

Columbus Cromor
T-Mar Agreed, but if the local price is right and it fits the OP it could be a nice find.
The OP is located in the Ukraine where there may have not been a lot of top end western European bikes available.
I saw the silver tubing sticker and first thought Cromor tubing. Since there's no tubing sticker on the forks, it could very well be TRE TUBI - only the 3 main frame tubes are Chrome Moly. If so, the forks and stays could be anything.
Most likely this vague mystery sticker is what's on the frame.

I have the Equipe SLX version of this bike and the bottom bracket on this bike looks nothing like mine. Mine has the Cinelli "spoiler" bottom bracket. I was wondering if it was a fake but the head tube badge looks legit.
