Hmmm. NR + extensively-reworked lugs + tubulars = some boutique American builder from the late '70s (judjing from the color palette).
*whoops* my bad. That drillium frame is t3h secks, though.

Finally home - and immediately took some pics, which suck.
Anyhow - final guesses with the following hints?
That ought to hold a few of you until I can get a few more less-rushed photos - light is fading outdoors, so these will be indoor shots.
There are some sharp people out there - I am pretty sure these two shots give it away

Ah, but that didn't count because he'd talked to someone in the know: the BF member who told me about the bike 
Almost let the cat outta the bag just as I was heading off to pick her up!
Moar pics coming up!

Tomorrow is the day I pick up a very special bike (to me, at least)
A few days later, I will be passed a special frame, but that's another thread.
Let the guessing begin - but understand this is a pretty sizable departure from what I normally ride and collect.
It'll be the oldest bike by far, and I'm positive I'll never have another opportunity like this in my lifetime - I'll probably use up every last bit of Bike Karma bringing this into the stable, but I don't care one little bit

I don't get how this is different from your other bikes DD...this seems like it fits right into your sweet spot.

60's Masi Special with the cool headlugs.
It's different from all his other bikes as it's way cooler! You can toss that Guerc in the trash bin now
