I think I finally figured out how to get these photos available. Maybe I'm not that clueless.

That's a very nice bike. My memory of Della Santa was from the early Greg Lemond days. This was 1976-1977. I expect Roland is getting up in years by now.

The frame is classic but has some nice modern features like the extended headtube, the web between the chain stays, and the seat stay/top tube junction.

Really beautiful paint too!

That is one purty bike. How are you building it up?

very nice, I like the color.
What are the head and seat tube angles?

I've got some silver Record brakes from around 2000, Chorus CT crank, new Record shifters/ deraileurs, Record hubs w/ Mavic Open Pro rims, Deda Newton bars and stem, King headset and Brooks pro saddle (which I've had for years) and a Chorus Ti seatpost. The seat tube angle ended up being 73.6- I can't seem to find the headtube angle, but it's around 73.
