thanks for the question, it looked definitely mid '80s to me, but the RD is Pat. 79. so I thought might be early '80s. now checked it more properly.
it seems like it's from late 84 or 85. definitely not before, as it has 2 bottle-cage holders. the shape of the front fork, the Cinelli stem instead of the TTT, makes it a Special , and not a Treviso, though oand it's not a Montello, as that one had the inner cable routing from the beginning if I know it well. so the RD at least is 5 years pre-dated, I can look for an older PAT. 84 RD if someone is after that, it came like this into my possession long time ago, and it looked so intact, I didn't bother touching her.
