Della Santa

So, this is my latest find..I believe its a bit of an older model due to the clamp on front der and the braze on rear brake guides. SLX tubing. Came with the tri color ultegra index group...works great. This had been in the seller's garage for years. It did have record hubs on mavc rims. The bike had some pretty fresh grease on the stem and seat post so maybe the seller had it freshened up a bit. I did put on a longer stem and another saddle. It is a 55 cm. Had to put in a bit of elbow grease to make it shine a bit

Slide that seat back a bit and it would probably fit me very well. He for a time did very business like bikes, clean and very simple, no frills. A rider's machine.

Very nice. More pics appreciated.

I wonder if he also painted pumps to match. If seen more Della Santa's with exact matching pumps than just about any other frame.
