Colnagos certainly had top-tube brake cable braze-ons by 1979 (the date claimed for the auction bike). I'm not at home where I can check my references for the exact year, perhaps someone else will chime in.
As I recall from my Kennedy Bros. Tour books, Gios was the only brand shown using TT braze-ons during 1976, while the book from 1978 shows that Bianchi was the only brand NOT using them. De Muynk's and Gimondi's bikes still had top-tube cable clips in '78, but they were painted celeste to match the frame.
Poor Bianchi! Always behind the times! (heh heh)
