Here's my opinion Scott, I would agree with Matty... 1980. I have two 1980 Colnago Supers, one is identical to yours and the other, the only difference is that instead of a tube chainstay bridge, it has a spool-shaped chainstay bridge (large grove around center). Both have "COLNAGO" seat stay caps and both do not have "COLNAGO" engraved chainstays. I'd put the "COLNAGO" engraved chainstays at 1981 but that would just be my uneducated guess.
