Here's a build I recently completed for my other half. The frame is really nice, bought it from HillyBen at Herne Hill a few months back.
Originally this was going to be a simple single speed but eventually it was decided just to go straight for gears, as that's what she would have wanted eventually anyway.
The brief was for a hybrid or "fitness" bike - something without drop bars that's comfortable but pretty quick.
Unfortunately I don't have any pre build pics, so will have to jump straight into photos of the complete bike:
If anyone knows anything about Dancelli or this particular frame I'd be interested to hear about it. I'm told this is built with Oria tubing although there are no stickers on the frame and I can't remember name of the actual tubeset. Takes a 26.6mm seatpost, which is quite uncommon. It's not the lightest frame in the world but certainly nowhere near as heavy as a full on gaspipe job - something comparable to Columbus Aelle I'm told.
Spec:
Dancelli 52cm (Oria tubing?)
Shimano RX100 8spd groupset with Tiagra flat bar 9spd shifters
Mavic cxp11 rims on Shimano RX100 hubs
Vittoria Rubino 25c tyres
Turbo saddle
