Interesting, and thanks for the feedback, but I don't agree that the 81 Del Mondo you linked to is identical to mine, certainly not compared to others that resemble it more closely. I don't know about the chrome bits, but there is 1976 Specialissima online here:

Mine much more resembles this than the 1981 Del Mondo you linked to.The 12-18 month delay to the UK isn't really relevant as it's never been to the UK, only Italy and/or France.

Here's an 81 Del Mondo, virtually identical to yours except the small chrome on fork crown. Note, no chrome head lugs or chain stay. These were bizarrely specced with a mixture of Gran Sport, Record and Super Record parts.
