I just recently converted it to a fixed gear ride. I cannot express how that feels other than WOW in capital letters! I guess it's true what they say, "Once you've gone fixed, you'll never go back" (or someone should say that anyway). Sadly I haven't yet had the opportunity to take some current pictures of Mr. Denti with my new rear wheel sporting a Phil hub and Salsa rim, but here are
some shots when it was in transition (aka, a single-speed):
P.S., I found
Mino Denti on Facebook and we're now Facebook friends! Pretty cool, eh? Anyway, if anyone else owns a late 70's or early 80's Denti, no matter what model, please put up some pictures so we all can see.
Bye for now,

Thanks so much for this info, I hate the thought of Facebook, but I will set aside my morals to find out more about this bike. I'm going to the frame shop today to have it checked for true before building it back up. Alas, I have top put off the CyclArt treatment until next overhaul, but I did some touch up and am just too eager to get her up and running. I'll sign up for Facebook tonight and try to friend you and Mino ASAP. I'm not sure of the vintage of mine, it was dressed in Dura Ace 7400 gear, so I assume it was from 1990 or so..maybe it's older and had an upgrade at some point...hopefully Mr. Teeth can clarify. Thanks again for the 411.
