It was usual to write the riders name or initials in felt pen or metal marker on the bike, looks legit to me.

I understand Ron has a bike shop in Thornton, CO. Could probably validate the claim.

Looks to be in great shape, too, which is not always the case with used race bikes. Btw, where is Campy Town, U.S.A.?

I believe Kiefel has one of his '84 Olympics bikes - a Murray-Serotta - and it may be on display at his shop. I used to own one of those.

Yeah - sounds like Davie Kirk might be the guy to go to for the ID confirmation.
