It's closer to the early 80's serial number format X### - so it might be earlier than I'm guessing. But looking at the 1981 catalog the models with blank seat stay caps don't have front derailleur tabs, sooooo...I don't know, but I'm sticking with mid 80's Triathlon Victory.

Did you mean '87?

Here's an 87 Montello with pump peg (XX### serial)

and an earlier Record also with peg (X### serial):
