The models of that era were essentially composed with two different frames. The desirable one is the "Professional" frame which is easily distinguished by Campagnolo dropouts. That frame also came in a Giro d'Italia model that had Nervex, Universal and other components rather than Record or Nuovo Record. So something with Record on it is likely to be the high-end frame. These frames build into very capable road bikes, but don't have the panache of their other contemporaries like Cinelli or even a Paramount. The finish of the frames is very utilitarian - no filed lugs or distinct tweaks, just solid and durable.

This is my Giro d'Italia upgraded to all Record.
