So what do you think> Honey Brooks??? on that grey green??? ;-)

Definitely! Or the dark Brown Brooks.
Here's a pic of my husband's Rambouillet with a honey brooks- it's a sort of sage/pea green not completely unlike the Volpe 'gang green' (just gotta love that color name!)

I think you are making a wise decision about the Pinarello. Sometimes it's hard to resist old bikes, for sure.
P.S. Never ask Knot whether you should buy an old steel bike or not.
P.P.S. If that bike was so great it would have been snapped up by someone long ago in her area- you can bet she's been showing it to people near her so she wouldn't have to ship it. I suspect it has 'issues' that are only apparent to people who really know bikes.
