Very cool.....
Here's my '85 Merckx Pro, which I rode to work this morning. Nowhere near as light as yours with the Brooks, Velocity Aeroheads, and Vittoria Rubino 25s, but it's far and away my favorite rider in my stable. I've had it the longest (about 8 years) and will never, ever part with it....

I wish I would have kept one of mine, but maybe someday.

Here I'm running 7 speeds with a Dura-7700 rear derailer on a claw mount, it works quite well:

Speaking of Eddy.....I had a friend meeting me at 6:15 am to ride. Another friend said he'd join us, and he'd bring a friend. As usual, we were in a hurry to get underway, and I pulled for a while and then moved to the back, looked over at the new guy...and pulled out my phone to get a pic:

Pics show up on my browser, but then, it could be my imagination.
My town is 5,000. The next town over is about 1200.
What are the odds on a guy from each town, chance encounter, each on an Eddy?
Not big. I've been to big centuries in Raleigh, etc, no Eddys whatsoever that weren't CF.
Anyhow, he's ordering the correct decals from Cyclomondo, and is going to repaint it.
He runs a body shop. We did 32 miles, good way to get acquainted.

'74 Raleigh International. New RD & VO Contstructeur rear rack to follow. I took the "international" part to heart, incorporating parts from France, Italy, Japan, Taiwan, and the UK. Highlights include:
RSX 7sp STI shifters
Stronglight 99 32/45 crankset
Ideale 80 saddle
Mafac Racers
Nitto technomic / "dream" 46mm bars
Record/Open Pro + 28mm Pasela TG's
Still a work in progress...

I've added a second picture. Looking at the first pic makes it seem like somethings missing, but I think everything's there. Unless I'm unclear what cover you're referring to...
