curious to hear what the experts will say: I am certainly NOT one but noting some features like the number tab, the name of "M. Gabriel" on the TT, the portacatena holes in the DOs, the red border Columbus decal that I'm pretty sure says "SLX", the IC BB shell which I think may be a ROTO casting (?)...going to be interesting to learn where this one nets out.
No fork?

Panasonic color scheme, mid-80's frame, should be either Corsa Extra or Pro.
Here is mine before repaint by original owner.
I have been told mine is CorsaExtra and Pro - depending on which expert one believes.

^Wildwood's has many strong similarities but the graphic is "later" and the BB shell also has cast-in guides versus the "strap" on the OP's, and the DO's look to have no portacatena holes (hard to confirm with that pic). In any case I think he's got you right in the ballpark...and you know what the fork should look like!

Professional 1983 Columbus SL
Number Hanger - The low-cost option
M.Gabriel - bike store
Dropout from PortaCatena - EMC stock
BB cover - Microfusione Italiana (not Roto)
Z7645
In this area they started to stick gold "Corsa Extra" - in this magical way Pro model changed its name
