Think I scored a good catch, opinions?

Thanks for all of the responses. On that head tube I'll have my local mechanic check it out when he does the tune up. He's a couple of weeks behind so I won't be able to post anything for a while. I am excited though, it's the highest end bike I've ever owned, hope I'm not disappointed.

Finally got the bike done and been riding it. Smooth as silk. I put on a set of 42cm Nitto Randonneur bars along with a 90mm Technomic stem. The bars feel way too narrow so have ordered a set of 44cm Noodles.

Mrs Road Fan has a 1997 Georgena Terry that was made by Wilier, in Columbus Brain, 52 cm size and 700c front and rear. She also has a custom Terry built by Waterford, with 26" front and rear. I've seen pics of Terry bikes with seat tubes barely higher than the top of the 700c rear tire, so G.T. has designed some SMALL frames.

Not to be mean or judgemental, but nothing makes me more upset then when someone puts their handlebars up in the air. This defeats the purpose of the drops, and you will be much less aerodynamic. The way I like my handlebars is as low as I can get them whilst still remaining a good back, and also have the drops parallel to the ground. Sorry about this, it is just one of my cycling pet peves.

As far as being aerodynamic, look at my picture, do I LOOK aerodynamic, LOL? There's a reason I have them up high. Both of my shoulders have rotator cuff pain so putting the amount of weight on them for a 1-2 hour long ride kills me, the pain is excruciating. I have never consistently been able to ride using racing bars. I'm trying to gradually get accustomed to them though. To tell you the truth, if the Noodle bars don't make my rides more comfortable, I'm going to Nitto Albatross or North Road bars like on my red Voyageur below.
