This is mine which I was told was an ‘81 but think it might be an ‘82. I haven’t delved too far into it yet. Mine has EM seat stay caps, not signature.

Here is a pic of the whole bike
16 speed 8 x 2 Campy
Campy Chorus drivetrain
Veloce brakes and shifting
Centaur hubs in the wheels
Hope this helps
Thank you
rims are mis-matched
one is campy
one is mavic
Hubs match though

I think it had a 7 speed cassette body as well as a freewheel option.
Centaur road started at 9 speed.
