My daughter has an Italian bike from about 1990, and yours reminds me of hers. It's a mid-level bike, or you could call it an entry-level racing bike. It probably cost half of what a "real" racing bike did and rides 90% as well.
Since the frame lists the years when Bottecchia bikes won championships, and it includes 1989, this must be a 1990 or later year. Right, folks?
