Devout Dirtbag
Hi, Just finished building this up for myself.I'm apprenticing at this small factory and so the frame was free.

wrote a little bit about it here http://revanchebikeco.wordpress.com/201 ... meets-new/
It's all DA(7400 cranks,7700 RD,7800 tubeless wheels) except from the brakes and FD that are ultegra 6600.
The 124mm q factor is strange, but good.
Rides nicely, still smooth as steel should be, but a bit more snap due to the larger tubes.
It's fillet brazed and with the slightly thicker tubes you can use the higher melting brass, so you don't need as much fillet. I think it looks cleaner, like the tubes were just stuck on.
I had Nitto everything and a ax600 seatpost that I polished up (it was made by nitto anyway)
swift Ti saddle.105 pedals(silver would look better, I'll swap them out)
38-44 and 11-28 gets me spinning and gets me up everything.
thanks for looking.

that looks fantastic and you are lucky to be an apprentice at such a good name
thanks,poking around on forums worldwide it seems to me we're better known in the UK and USA than in italy.
nemo propheta in patria and all that.
 
Lovely bike. Make sure to properly rust proof the frame though, as the Dedacciai steel is really prone to rust.
