Got a good price on this on Ebay. Showed evidence of a prior loving owner but I suspect the last used it as a fixie. The chrome fork and chain stays were horribly pitted, shifter bosses were smashed up, RD hanger needed the threads chased. I ended up painting the fork, leaving the good condition chrome on the crown exposed, and painting the NDS chain stay. Luckily the DS chain stay had a protector so it is still in good shape. Built it with mix of Campy 8 speed parts and throughly enjoyed the maiden voyage today.
Before:
Last pic is from the eBay add. There was a regular nut and bolt in the seat post clamp and a rag stuffed into the gap of the "in too far" aero seat post.
