If that is original paint, I'm pretty sure its 70's or later. In the 60's they were a different color, blue and white? The late 60's ones also had Zeus dropouts rather than Campy, I think.

It has Capella lugs and Rapid-Taper chainstays. Does anyone know how late those might have been used? Please reply off list as I can't read them all.
