Della Santa
To all,
I am going to get my Della Santa repaint and put all new parts on it. Here is my dilema. Plan A: used etap in a box from my Serotta. Plan B: to sell the etap and use the money for a new group of Chorus. Thoughts? Moreover, I talked to Roland a few weeks ago, he is NOT busy now. If you have not ridden his frame before, you should really try it. His price is cheap in today's term ($2000 for frame/fork and one color paint). Thx, Ron |
Chorus, all the way.
Wish I had the cash for a new Della Santa right now. |
Mechanical
Campy all the way. That bike deserves a mechanical group!

Who are you going to get to repaint the frame. I have a Della Santa that I got in 1996 that could use a paint job.
It is also tempting to have him build a new one too :-) ... |
The correct answer is always Campy

I would suggest you contact Roland first if you have any repair/changes you want to make before a repaint from Jim Allen. For example, this frame is made for 53/39 and Roland is going to move it down to 50/34 position. Also, get a pump made and paint while you are at it. You will not regret it and you will be popular because of the frame pump. Ron |

Chorus it is. |

Oh shoot I forgot all about the front hanger! I would have forgot all about that! I'd probably ask if I could just go to a clamp. I can see myself going back and forth between 52/36 and 50/34. Thanks. |
etap all the way and I am a campy guy. Etap is just an awesome group set and will look so classy on that classy bike.

Lol, I picked up a used DS in excellent condition and ran into the same dilemma! I have etap on my Trek Madone and love it. But for me it came down to money. An etap “group” (shifters, FD and RD) was $1300; in contrast I got the same Chorus component for under $500. Further, got a good deal on a SR crankset, so Campy it is!
Of course, YMMV! Good Luck! |
I think Roland would be satisfied to see either on one of his frames. If you do go eTap, I'd get the shifting cable guides removed.
I've got Record/Super Record 11 on mine right now, and kicking around the 12 speed upgrade at some point. https://c2.staticflickr.com/2/1680/2...42562e42_b.jpg |
I don't have photos but the way mine is built it has downtube shifters AND an SRM.
When I was racing my buddies always gave me chit about that. |
