I have the same bike, that one looks like a beautiful example, all stock, and it must be very low mileage to have that much gold anodizing still on the rims. New hoods and tires and it'll be good to go. I've never ridden any other nice road bikes, but I really like mine, it's seems like a nice compromise between racy and comfortable. I commute on it 3 seasons and have raced in duathlons with it. My rim sidewalls are now totally grey, even though mine ran a second tubular wheelset for a long time.
