Serotta Nova Special Today !

A Craigslist find this AM. Obviously suffering some cosmetic challenges ...... Not like my other one much. I have no idea of the age so maybe someone here has some clues. A puzzling, to me, sort of old/notsoold features. Socketed dropouts, butterfly cable guides, fastback seat stays, clampon front derailleur ... The serial seems to indicate 1980, but what the C-69-E casting mark means ...?
Anyway check the pix and let me know what you think
Thanks
Charlie

Whoa ! Same bike for sure but sold a year ago and in a different city. Crazyness ! And that seller has pricey bikes on Craigslist all the time.
Fortunately that previous price has been subject to some substantial depreciation.

I still would appreciate some thoughts on the age of this bike.

Thanks
