Aluminum bicycle frames expand even when not in use. As is, aluminum frames were never truly meant to be used for longer than a season or two of cycling - pure disposable race stuff.

Also, the ride will likely be very hard if the aluminum isn't stretched out. Even with a carbon fork and stays, the ride will be harsh.

Make sure the frame is in "excellent" shape - no dings, dents or deep scratches - as it will likely compromise the frame's integrity.

Vintage Campy components are not at all for the faint of heart. Today's ten-gear cassettes and compact cranks make things a lot easier for all cyclists. So be aware of that as well.

In short, if you get this bike, being in good shape would be paramount to riding it effectively.
