For Sale: Rare Vintage Chesini (Cross Bike?) Fixie conversion?

I have this unusual Chesini,

Lovely ornate head tube, embossed logo on down tube, internal gear cable.

Campag SS shifter.
Running on excellent condition retro 26 wheels

but will accept 700 / 27
( noodle bars in pic just for show, I can include a set of 3TTT f.o.c.)

BUT:
slight ripple underside top tube and splay in seat stay ( not a crack, maybe to allow freewheel clearance? )

So £185 or offer as a project?
If this is way out, tell me.

I know!
I wonder for how long the frame was ridden like that???
Original colour was metallic emerald green, If I were a framebuilder I'd sort it but otherwise exceptional wall-art!

Such a shame , lugs look lovely

I know...:(

gotta be worth something to somebody who can give it a new lease of life, hopefully; you hear of people riding frames with 'issues' for years...
