I have an Basso Gap from the mid 80's and a couple of things were different than any Basso Gap from that era. No Chrome underneath and a Pump Peg. I contacted them and they told me that it's legit and just sometimes they made them like that. I wouldn't be surprised if Merckx was a similarly working business where they kinda just did things because maybe that month the chrome place was on vacation, or they had other tubesets to use up. If most things point to it being from a certain era, don't let other things steer you off of that.

Maybe it could be useful to someone...
A7575 = early 1988, Corsa Extra, frame repainted and rebuilt in 1992 at EMC at the earliest, X = SLX.
Z5741 = Pro SLX, late 85/beginning of 1986. Any consideration of paid options (chrome plating, fixing of second bottle, slides, fork crown, seat stays etc) is unfortunately a waste of time.

I thought those short semi horiz. drop outs and bridgeless chainstays were only from early 90s on.

It's been the normal "short" Campagnolo dropouts - in EMC since 1980, bridgeless chainstay - since 1984.
