I was about to buy this bike, but decided I shouldn't since I have two others on the way.
I don't know much history on the builder other than he use to build for Schwinn. The bike looks really nice and has some tasty components. The cranks are the early 60's Campy with the raised lip around the pedal hole.
The frame does have a tiny dent in the top tube about 8 inches in from the seat cluster. You can see the slight indentation in the picture taken from the rear.
The seller is asking $1,250+actual shipping. He's a nice guy and I'm just helping him out since he went through the trouble of sending me the pictures. Also, I'd love to see someone who could appreciate it end up with the bike
Here are the photos he sent me on my flickr.
