OK...so I got home uncover it and and was very surprised that storage has not been too kind on the old gal....and the bike is not as "cherry" as I thought it was.
The decals are flaking off, I have Shimao pedals (not Campy - wtf??), the seat on is a cheap Coda thatI bought from a discount bin at a LBS for $5 (but it's still very comfy), the frame has many scuffs on it...the old Contis are screaming for help...let's face it - it's been neglected!

Now the good part...I put air in the tires and took it out for a spin, in my dress shirt from work and loafers on clipless pedals. So it's been a while since I've ridden it and it felt strange to be able to coast.
Anyway, I was reminded of why I love "Eye-Talian" craftmanship - I felt like a shark in calm water, like carving strawberry-shortcake with a switchblade (ok, enough cheesy analogies)- you get the picture.
I returned home 20 minutes later with a huge smile on my face.

I thought about "cleaning her up"...checked Ebay for decals ($40), thought about painting, new parts etc...but then she wouldn't be who she is.
