The point is the BB features.

I don't. My sense is that the cast BB with the clover makes its appearance in about 1984. But I don't know if that was only on certain models at first - i.e. if it trickled down from the Master. But I'll bet it didn't take long to find its way onto the Supers and Superissimos. Yours definitely looks like it belongs to the earlier part of the timeframe. It's so hard to workk this out, because so many bikes you'll find pics of online are potentially misdated.
