Yes, that would do. My size too, so if I won the lottery tomorrow it would be mine.

Yes it looks really nice, but it would look so much better if those wheels were taken apart and re-laced onto GEL 330s, GP4s or whatever, with a gumwalled vittoria or veloflex.
I don't really understand why anyone would keep a bike like that NOS. I would personally keep it in my Italian villa* for riding to the coffee shop in the next village and other sunny day slow rides. I'd also have a Colnago Arabesque* as a beater bike.

How much for the wife? Is pre-purchase inspection allowed? Post pics please.

Might take the crank and bb at the right price.

Nice. I always wanted one like that to live out my Kelly / Breukink / Rooks / Theunisse / Poppel fantasies.

Nice - great to get a full period bike, complete with nice bits like the seat post.
To me it looks like the ITM stem is not pantographed. It looks like a much later aheadset with a screenprinted logo. I guess the new owner could swap it for a matching 3t quill stem.

I think 700 is ambitious. I think you could buy similar parts for around 4-500.

Nice bike, but the RRP of f&f is $4000 = £2500, so I would advise anyone thinking about this to take a cheap flight to the US and pick up a new one, with your choice of paint, decals, geometry, etc... Any remaining cash can be spent on donor parts, preferably bought from someone who spends more time polishing their bike than riding it, or at least cares enough to wash the bike before listing it here.
