Wow, that stem was stuck in there good. I've seen worse but still took a bit of effort and carefully applied leverage.
After looking into it, I believe I have one of the Time Trial models. Differentiated by 2 water bottle mounts and the optional top tube routing for the rear brake. I appreciate all the nice comments and trade offers, think I'm going to keep this one for awhile and see how we get along. If I get some decent light tomorrow, I'll take some new pics, now that she's polished up and not dressed like a drag queen on Halloween
Looks like it could be a nice bike to ride, if the fit is good. The full chrome rear triangle looks great. Try just a round seat post, you may be able to lower it enough, if the top tube isn't too long for good riding.
In any case, I'm sure you could sell it for an decent price with a few hours of detailing. Campy cleans up nicely.
Congrats,
