Another Tommasini ID thread

There has been (rightfully so) a lot of Tommy love going around lately and I'd like to get some help with a date on mine. This bike has popped up in a couple of threads here; I bought it a couple of years ago as a frame and fork. There are features to the bike that confuse me and hopefully some of you will have some insight.

OK - Columbus SL tubing but I suspect also some SP as the seat tube takes a 27.0 post.Seat tube does not have bottle cage bosses and does not have FD braze on. These features with the under BB cable routing suggest ~ 81-83 to me but the rear brake cable is internally routed which I thought was a feature of later frames.

The "Racing" logo is on the top tube, whereas most often found on the chain stay and there is also the chewed up "Professional" decal which I haven't seen on others before. I'm also curious as to when the Air fork was first produced and the likelihood it is original to the frame. Thanks for any input!
