"the same" is debatable. Specialissimas were SL, Competiziones were SP. I've
seen team bikes both ways. I'm restoring one now (a Team SP bike) and it may
have shorter chainstays that a similarly serial numbered Competizione I own.
They may appear visually "the same" to a casual observer, but that doesn't
mean they are. Similar, or even very similar, yes. The same? Maybe. To claim
that without a lot of measuring is a leap.
