Comments:
The date of this machine is in the range 1981 to 1983. It was originally sold on the French market and the dealer’s name decal is on the left chainstay. The Vuelta in the 1982 English market catalogue appears to be red and the frame is made of Super Vitus 980 tubing, so is not exactly the same model. I have yet to find a catalogue showing a bike of this specification, which is why the dating is uncertain.
This is a second tier racing bike with few compromises and slightly cheaper, but still very competent, components. Altogether a very acceptable racing machine.
