The decal under the TT simply refers to the World Championships held in San Cristobal in '77. So the bike is post-1977. My best guess would be somewhere 1978-82 or so. From what I understand, some 3000's were made in Mexico and others in Italy. I'm not sure how to tell the difference. In any case, its a nice and iconic bike, though if it was made in Mexico it could have some durability issues.
