Della Santa

New (to me) Della Santa Corsa Speciale with some Campagnolo Chorus 9s. I found frame, fork, HS and BB on FB Marketplace. It was bit more expensive than what I was hoping (and my wife was a bit hesitant), but this is the bike that I dreamed about for a real long time. I had spoken to Roland at NAHBS and was planning to have him build me a frame, but he unfortunately passed away before I could get my sh*t together. I'm extremely thankful to Linda Yaxley (Roland's cousin) who has maintained Roland's files of his previous builds and was able to confirm the serial number and geometry. Based on my previous bikes, this seems to be a great fit (at least up and down the driveway this morning).

This is the second dream bike that I've been able to buy in the past two years. I recently bought a Colnago C40 that was the first: https://forums.thepaceline.net/showthread.php?t=269514
