I am pretty sure this is a later '90s model maybe a '98ish one. A search through bikepedia may help ypou find the year.
Yes, I know. I haven't had a good chance to sit down and go over it yet, that's how it was as I bought it a few weeks ago.
But still as far as age, yes I am PRETTY sure it's a '98 based on research, however, I thought Campy Avanti actually had the word "Avanti" on it. According to Bikepedia, '95, '97, 'and '98 are very similar.
