Bikingshearer came over this Sunday, and we had ourselves a bike-build party. Rich worked on his stunning Fuso, and I took a wrench to the Dancelli frame set I bought a while back. It is almost finished, save for the bar tape and the FD. I had a devil of a time adjusting the Campy "race" triple FD, and I still don't like it. I'm going to have to scrounge up a 2006 Veloce/Centaur to replace it.

Anyhow, I took it for a quick 22 mile shakedown spin today, and it runs nice. Go ahead and take your shots about the color, but I got a lot of positive attention from the ladies down at the local coffee shop - always a nice thing.

Wheels are courtesy of Bikingshearer - I bought the parts, and he was kind enough to take time out of his life to build them for me (for the record - Mavic OP's, DT Swiss DB spokes, and 32h Chorus hubs). Rich even came up with a donor saddle, a nice Selle San Marco Rolls.
