IIRC it didn't get done every season. 2. the spare bikes often didn' t get stamped .Also there is a possibility that it's CIOCC built as I know that one season I spannered for them the team frames came from CIOCCin which case it may/may not ave the letters
There are no letters stamped into the BB other than the frame number (low 700's). Interestingly, my non-team issue Gavina doesn't have a frame number, instead it has the tubing type and size, which seems to be the standard for '80's consumer-level bikes.
I would guess its a spare bike rather than a primary.
Strangely, it has a 116mm Athena axle (70-SSG) and a Chorus headset rather than Record, although obviously these could be later additions.
