My very early '70's Italian GC has only M60 on the BB, so how does that relate to the year? I think not, because it too is a 60 cm (c to t). I know when this frameset was originally purchased (within not more than one year), and it is definitely a '72 or '73. My other clue is that it still has the original KAS team colors from the early '70's.
