what you have was made sometime after 1983/84. my guess would be after 84. in a brochure from 83, the professional had brazed on cable guides, but my 84 and most i've seen had the cable routing through the top tube. you could email gios with the serial number and they could give you an exact year.
between 78-83, Gios made the super record strada(coin in the fork crown) and aerodynamic as their top(only?) models.
