Based on the pictures it looks like an '87 - mid 90's Bottecchia frame. The serial number will help us narrow it down but I'll have to check my records. The S/N indicates a 61 cm SP frame and 61 cm would fit with SP tubing and the internally routed cables on an SP frame would make me think early to mid 90's. Originally an SP would have been a painted frame while an SPX would have been fully chrome plated with polished chrome lugs and rear triangle. My guess is that it is an SP frame that probably came originally with Chorus or Athena gruppo.
