What a beautiful build!

This bike is now a regular ride for me once the sun comes out. The ride quality and comfort is amazing and the shifting and braking performance from this DA group is superb. I do the odd commute to work on it as well as fun weekend rides when I don't just want an all out thrash on my Cervelo.

I thought you might appreciate these photos from my Sunday morning trip across the Vale of the White Horse and up Dragon Hill (with a 42/23 ratio ). Oxfordshire was looking very beautiful indeed!

Amazing restoration. I remember looking at this a few years back and never commented and back here having seen you comment about the Roberts cyclocross bike and spotting this in your signature. Perfecto!

Ah glad you appreciate it! Thanks. It was a really fun project with many challenges, but all things that have built my restoration skill and mechanical knowledge.
I absolutely love riding it when the weather suits, the geometry is superb and the components made me a Dura Ace 7400 evangelist.

I got so into Denti's during this project that I even bought a very silly ladybird kit to match!

Ladybird kit too?!* Very cool! I love Dura Ace 7400!

As a fellow Denti owner I'd like to see your Denti kit please. They did seem to make kit for others too.

I've managed to acquire a few bits of kit over the years...

Yes you see quite a bit of their clothing for clubs and events on Ebay, more than plain Denti branded kit.

Here is my silly kit (and ugly mug)!



I also have this jersey for sale if interested? - too large for me (its somewhere like a generous size L).



and to not derail my thread too much, here's the bike again from a sunset ride at the end of summer.

Wow! That's some flashy kit. Very pro looking, but for fine weather days only with such a white kit (and a gorgeous bike!)
