Yeah, I really like the action on the 1055 series, plus it's a dead ringer for the previous gen 600 parts. They even made it in 8 speed versions a couple years later. Not a huge fan of the painted/not polished/not anodized finish, but it does seem to hold up very well.
And that San Marco seat is a beauty, I agree. Just a lucky find.
Also just noticed that I took the leaf pics before I swapped the front wheel around so that the double labels were on the QR side. Such shame.
