Very nice bike and I' sorry you're thinking of splitting. If you do I'd be interested in taking some of the parts from you depending on the price.
 
I'm interested in this, but it might be a bit big for me. Could you post a couple of other measurements, please?

1. Head tube length, both the actual tube length and with the headset included.

2. Distance from the centre of the b/b to the top of the seat, with the seat pin as low as it can safely go?

Thanks!
 
Heres the measurements in old money.
The head tube actual is 6.5 inches.
Head tube with headset is 8 inches.
The distance from centre of bb to top of saddle with seat post at maximum insertion is 30 inches.
Hope this helps . The frame is 58cm centre of bb. To centre of top tube.
Top tube is 58cm from centre to centre.
