Hi there! Here's my submission:

I got this Della Santa used from Tom Truong (he has a Cyclofiend entry). Tom apparently had a few frames/forks made by Roland, and had a "spare". He was nice enough to drive 50 miles to show me the bike, and gave me a good price to boot.

I understand this particular Della Santa was built with Richard Sachs "Richie-issimo" lugs, Pacenti bottom bracket shell, and Dedaciai Zero tubing. The dropouts are Roland's own. It was powder-coated black because Tom told me he liked the stealthy look for his run-about bike. Tom had also requested the Pacenti BB shell because Roland's own pantographed version has Italian threading, which I guess Tom didn't prefer.

I am currently using this bike now as a fast commuter for a one-way commute of 41 miles over fairly hilly terrain (SFO up Skyline to Palo Alto then Sunnyvale, for those in the area). The Della Santa is a joy to commute on, with a very stable bias and very comfortable ride.
