Wow great buy. Could be 86, 87 but I would bet a Corsa not a Corsa Extra with SL tubing?
Lettering and top mounted cable guides look early but the fork looks later.


If you look at the 1990 catalog, the Corsa has the top mounted cable guides but the fork crown is flat. The other bikes have the sloping fork crown.

whatever it is, you really scored. I'd pay that much for the frame alone.
