Those are fairly typical features for road bikes, especially if you live in an area that has rain. The lack of rack mounts, narrow gearing, racing-bend handlebars, and steep angles say road bike to me.

Of course in the US in the 70s it was the trend to tour on road bikes ill-suited for the task. Young racers would not be caught without Campy, even when camping.
