Yeah, I'm guessing it's an 86. I've been exchanging emails with De Rosa directly trying to figure this out, but I thought I'd give the forum a shot.
Yeah, that bike rack is where bikes go to die. I think people kick them. I carry mine up the stairs to the 3rd floor.
I cleaned the bike up, and it definitely looks better than it did. I wish the paint wasn't so chipped...
I picked it up VERY cheap, so I really can't complain too much.
