That's a different Riggio Americana. The frame that 1/8 and I have have the short rear Campy dropouts 1010B and there are no eyelets on the fork either. Tubing is Columbus SLX. The bike on 1/8's photo is prob from the early 80's. Maybe 1983.
If I recall correctly, the 'Americana' sticker was placed in all Riggios. Of course, I could be wrong. Memory is fuzzy but this what I saw when worked there.
