I've been surprised at how seemingly primitive the Campagnolo components were for the 1970's. You can see pretty much identical parts in their 1950's catalogs. The shifters are clamped on and only have a steel friction washer. The nut on the brake pad interferes with the brake release. The seat post has the bolts inaccessible on the top and is annoying as heck to adjust - there's a funny wrench in the tool roll that I think is for the purpose but it's still a pain. The Cinelli stem seems to be bored out of true, as well.
Just the two rainbow stripe seat tube decals is correct for 1976. The white panel with the olympic circles and "Schwinn Quality Chicago" emblem between the rainbow stripes was phased out in the first couple of months of 1973.
