Maybe local bike shop could facilitate packing & shipping ?
NOTE: I think the pink color is a bit accentuated in the pictures, and may be a bit more muted in real life. Having trouble getting colors to translate to the interwebs.
Just a few hundred miles estimate, Based on condition of frame & removed components.
Pink Anodized tubes. Color has faded a bit, compared to front derailleur area, and plastic top-tube cable guide areas.

Campy C-Record Seatpost available for $35 extra

I’ve never really been tempted by a Vitus until now.

Holy crap! I want to build a pink bike, this is my size and I’m in Fairfield CT on Wednesday! Unfortunately I’m a heavier rider and just don’t do the bonded tube thing. Good luck with the sale.

I'm paranoid about damage during shipping, and turning into a mess.

@Homebrew01 - Do a search on this site for bike packing. Miamijim created a thread on how to do it as did wrk101, IIRC.

I can relate to the concerns about shipping damage. It really depends on your location and which crews work on the deliveries.
My personal experience had been bad with UPS with almost all the wheels and framesets sent to me through them having their boxes stepped on and wheels taken out of true as a result. Never had similar problems with USPS and FedEx.
I'm sure it is different with other areas, you just need to find out which delivery service to avoid based on previous expeprience.....
I now aways ask anyone sending stuff to me to not use UPS and I never had the same problems since.
