oh one more thing, he said it was a 58cm but the head tube looks way to short to be that size

Looks like a 50-51 to me. Likely a great deal for a great bike.

A pearl white quality Olmo is on my grail list. Could be a decent deal - I can't seem to find one listed less than $600 when I'm looking.

The "Competition" was up toward the top of their line.
Mine's a 59c-c "60 Italian" so that's a small frame.

does the originality factor in THAT much for this bike? it looks like alot of parts were swapped out for dura ace stuff

Very few local racers stuck with Campy for many years.
Better endorsement discounts, great function, and decent durability changed their minds.
Plus it actually shifted and stopped.
Heck, go to a local criterium or stage race. Most of the racers are using SRAM or Shimano.
If the bike came with a complete DA 7400 gruppo, I'd still buy her in a heartbeat if I were you.
Far more importantly, will this bike fit you properly?
...and come to think of it, the nice one I saw this morning sported 7400 series DA.
