Mmmm. I think if built in June 85 was actually sold as an 86 model. 85’s had chrome seat stay tips and 4.5mm shifter mounts.
86 models had the more common 5mm mounts used for modern indexed shifting and painted seat stay tips.
A small point, but a truly lovely bike.

This bike has the 1985 brand graphics. 1986 introduced the "arial font" style lettering, progressing from thin to thick.

I had and sold an 85 with serial number KF511628 that had the same exact color on the frame. It did not have a chrome seat stay cap.
No chrome anywhere on the frame of mine, and put back to stock except for the cockpit when I sold it. Modified pic here with change in gearing. The seller did state that period components were used. This frame is in beautiful shape, and sure looks like my 85. Perhaps the seller or whoever built this up had the adapter for the 4.5-5mm shifter switch. I had one that came with a Ross Signature Triad from the same timeframe with the 4.5mm bosses. It went with the frame when I sold it. Perhaps they were an easily found item in the late 80s to switch over. Beautiful bike and GLWS.

All good points. I stand corrected. Perhaps simply a late 85 with running changes.

That little guy is pristine. Love the colors. Reminiscent of Cinelli in the overall look.
If ever a color was meant for Tricolor stuff this is it.
