Happy B-Day to everyone and myself!
In the meantime, this Urago which does fit me showed up. $1,500, with a second wheelset. Pretty nice '60s track steed. Has a drilled front brake, so it fits my bill of not going brakeless, and the other wheelsets are clinchers. Original track drops too, I believe. Yay? Nay?

Duh, April 1?
Nice one Kurt!
I'd take the Raleigh, I've already got 17 of those Hetchins and 6 Basso's (in my dreams!)

I'd go for the Raleigh only as long as the water bottle is full. Now what to do about the wireless computer and the back rack.

I'm loving the Cinelli...my problem is if I spent enough to buy any part of that bike, I;d have to jump off the bridge I bought after my fiancee got a hold of me.

What, with frozen everything? I managed to rip the bottom of the adjuster barrel off of the rear Campy Record brake today...stupid thing was frozen into the arm, and it snapped in two when I tried to hammer it out (trust me, oxalic acid doesn't work on things such as this!)
