I did end up buying the bike. It was an interesting buying experience, as I'm not a guy that usually buys vintage bikes, no less one that is from a builder that isn't one of the well known builders or build houses and especially any bike that I have no reference point for pricing. The guy I bought it from kept insisting that Ben Serotta built the bike. Looking at the seat tube lug, I doubt that Serotta built it because the lug still has a casting plug mark on it. I would have expected nicer finishing, unless he was testing out a tube set for Ken Evans. Who knows? The frame had been in storage for years. The paint has scrapes all over the place, much more than I would usually tolerate. However, there was no rust, which means an easy repaint, if I choose to do so. Full Dura Ace 8 speed that looks barely used. It's rolling on clean DA hubs built on a 24 hole Mavic SUP Ceramic rim set. This bike needs very little to become my favorite. Zero rise stem, new hoods, bar tape, saddle, a coat of wax and a little elbow grease. Maybe one day she'll get new paint and decals, or if I can't get used to down tube shifters again.....well, that will be a topic for another post. For now, it's a badazzed little race frame that's pretty stiff but still comfortable, despite using 20's. I forgot how skinny those things were! Pics will go up when the rain stops in Florida
