Thx for advice guys. Yes, it is "Designed by Ernie Clements", and the frame is 531 DB. Do you think the frame would be of interest to a fixie-builder?

The RD is Campy Gran Sport, which I haven't heard of before. How does it compare to (Nuovo) Record?

For the longest time, I thought the saddle was Brooks just because it is leather. But looking closer, it is obviously badged "Ideale" (made in France). How does that stack up against a vintage Brooks?

Are those Weinmann Centerpulls in demand at all? Or is there a reason you never see centerpulls anymore?

Are the replacements parts (Ambrosia wheels, cyclone hubs, 600 chainring/cranks) of interest at all?

Oh and BTW I'm in San Diego, which I think is a higher-than usual market for bicycles, but I don't know how much of that is particularly for vintage. We do seem to have more than our share of hipsters riding fixie steel.
