I bought this a few years ago because it's absolutely beautiful (and still is!) but I almost never ride it and I've now bought a house with no spare storage and it's taking up room.
Since buying a few years ago all I've done is replace the bar tape with leather Brooks tape, replaced the perished brake hoods with period correct ones, and changed the rims to clinchers as I wasn't a fan of the tubeless set up it came with.
Will throw in the Campagnolo Record/Mavic Monthlery Legere/Wolber nos tubs I took off it for free.
Pick up only in NE London.
