Not much - if you show clear photos of all the markings from the BB cover and fork steering tube it will be easier.

Very nice bike. Looks like it's even my size!
There should be additional information stamped on the drive side of the bottom bracket, just to the left of where your serial number photo ends. Additional markings on the fork steerer tube only visible when you remove the fork from the frame.

Yeah, you need the numbers on both sides of the BB. This is my 1990 Corsa (not extra)
