Oh yeah, that's a beauty, for sure. Congrats! I'm not real sure which model yours is, but it's definitely set up nicely, for touring-type riding. My '71 Professional is double butted Reynolds 531, so it's hard to say what yours is, exactly. Probably a similar high-end frame, but I have no idea if the db part applied, 10 years earlier. I don't have any of those grease nipples, but that seat tube cluster cut-out is unmistakable, our bikes are true brothers. I often wish I had a decent paint job, like yours, but I'll just have to rough it, with the full naked chrome look. BTW, that stem is awesome. I have a very similar early 3TTT seatpost, in 27.2, that works great, & it's far lighter & easier to adjust than Nuovo Record. But I use SunTour derailleurs & a mix of parts, so mine's not exactly "traditional", overall.
