Grandis Frame Set - Model & Age???

I can't remember when I got this old Grandis frame and fork set, but I do have it. I paid little attention to it until recently, when another person became interested in possible purchase.

As I checked the frame set over, I realized it is probably older than I would have guessed. There is a bicycle sporting an identical frame set on Classic Rendezvous and it is listed as 1975 vintage.

My frame has 120mm drop space, and a Columbus Repainted Decal. I am pretty sure that the tube set is Columbus Special (rings like a bell) and the drops are, of course, Campagnolo, although the milling on the rears has obliterated the Campy name.

Any ideas as to the age and model of this lovely old frame set? Thanks.
