You shouldn't be. But you have a nice bike, you can stop here already. One thing which pops my eyes at this point if the front fork is orig. I'm no expert, so take my words with a pinch of salt, but on bikes where the rear end was carve, usually front end was it too. I guess this might have been the "carbon kit" to make a bike for. I tried to look for anything like yours, and so far this is the closest one, a team bike at the German candy shop Steel Vintage:

Not like yours but definitely from the same age and style
