I like it, a nice balance between old and new.
A mid 80's Sirocco passed through my hands a few years back, it was 501 and in a metallic red. Was quite a nice frameset actually, and it had campag brakes, although they might have been added later. I built it up for a relative and now it languishes un-used in a shed.
Thanks, it's growing on me and I hope it rides as nicely as I think it will.
It will get painted in as close as I can get to that gold and the decals are available so I should be able to make it look quite presentable.
The middle (501) Sirocco I've never had and that's a shame that it's not being used so I think I'd try and get that back.
I do have a later (531) one as well in the queue to do but that's for another time
