Wow, but the pictures leave something to be desired. The seller claims its a Columbus frame, but is that a Reynolds sticker on the fork? Also, is the fork bent or is it just the rake of the fork? (You know what I mean to ask...bad head cold here this morning from riding on too many 20 degree days lately.) I'd lose that Avocet cyclometer. (Although it would be period correct on an early 80s bike. Waste not, want not. <wink>)
