A Valentino drive train is never a good sign. I don't see anything about columbus tubing, you're probably getting your hopes up on that one. Those derailleurs are probably not any smoother than your simplex derailleur.
That bike is low end for the time, and I bet it's pretty heavy. They didn't put dropouts like that on nice frames.
That wouldn't be a terrible deal at the current auction price, however I bet it's going to go over $300, and it won't be worth it then.
