The bike that got me started riding fixed and was my daily commuter for 3 plus years, preferred option is to sell complete but will split if no serious interest. Link below should cover the good bad & ugly, I'll try and actually post some photos tomorrow

Frame size, seat tube 58c-c 59.5c-t, top tube 58 c-c. Bought this (minus the generic steel fork now fitted) as nos with some chips and scrapes from storage, now includes a few more and some surface rust from mudguard fitment as pictured, Nothing that can't be rubbed back and treated, please forgive my habit of adding 3m scotchlite reflective tape, present on frame and wheels, easily removed if too offensive.... Ambrosio f/f rear never braked on front has wear, bearings good on both, stronglight headset not quite buttery but not bad either, d/a cranks seen some use so not too pretty but no flaws and isis b/b plenty of life left as have Surly48t stainless chainring kmc chain and 14t cog. Silver Thomson layback post in great condition and Brooks b17 champion special with copper rivets has scuffed to leather but a full complement of threads on tensioning bolt. 65-40 consolidation criteriums on a short engraved cinelli stem with light scratches. Only front campag calliper fitted though rear is also included in sale as are original engraved pads and holders.
For reference, cranks are stamped 170 and fc7701 (drive side) fc7701/7703 (non drive). Tyres are vittoria rubino pro 700x23c front is slick version.
Hopefully pictures give an honest indication of condition of frame and components, nothing is perfect (Thomson nearly is) as everything has been used but also looked after, all in, a great introduction to fixed biking.
Happy to provide more detailed photos or information, bike in Edinburgh so postage will likely be required, dibs > pm
