holy cow you've only gone and got the same dang model & colour as me..
looks like it's in remarkable condition, I must say - really well cared for, the only thing it's calling out for is some nice pedals with christophe clips/straps.
when I first got mine I thought of going fixed/ss, even took the trouble to source a 27" rear wheel with double Airlite hub, but in the end I couldn't bring myself to do it. glad I didn't, would have been a travesty!
I'm slowly doing other things to it though - Brooks narrow B17 (dark brown) and matching leather bar tape, Cinelli stem and Ambrosio bars with a slight randonneur-style flair... am I trying to hard?
