Based on another closer look, your bicycle appears to have the full Campagnolo (Nuovo) Record group, which would make it a Professionale and third in the hierarchy, immediately above the 4th place Campione del Mondo CX.
Im sending more pictures to help. I’m wondering if it’s a leftover 77 frame? The 77’s had pantographing like my bike. The 78’s spelled out Bianchi from the pictures I’ve seen online. It’s nice to know my bike is better than I thought whether it’s a SL or Prof. Specialissima sounds better lol. Also if you search 1977 Campione del Mondo CX, I believe the sold bike from The Pros Closet is mine.
