I had a Serotta Club Special frame that I bought at the Bicycle Exchange in Cambridge, MA in 1980. I don't know how long they had it. The decals and and braze-ons differed from the blue one pictured. It did not have the oval around Serotta on the seat tube and it had brazons for the cable guide on the top tube, and down tube shifters. So, based on mostly the decal, I think your bike is a bit older.
Man, that was a nice frame. Others in my club would ride it and comment on how nice it rode. It didn't beat you up like a Gios, but it handled and accelerated nicely.
I was told that the paint that was used was DuPont Imron. A high end automotive paint. The paint job and finish were perfect.
