Dedacciai Nerissimo

After upgrading my Look 585 from the Shimano 105-5700 that it came with to Ultegra 6700 I was left with the 105 groupset sitting unloved in the garage. My original plan was to sell the 105 to help fund the cost of the 6700 but with prices lower than a snakes belly I decided to keep the 105 and source a frameset that would allow me to use the 105 and other parts I had sitting redundant in the garage. The usual auction sites never showed anything that took my fancy so my attentions turned to a winter frameset which would allow me some gears during the cold wet salty winter months in the north of the UK instead of plugging away on my Genesis Skyline single speed.
Searching the usual winter frame suppliers left me felling a little underwhelmed so it was back to the drawing board and that's when I came across a NOS Dedacciai Nerissimo at a bargain price and with a bit of a haggle I managed to buy it for a fraction of the original price.
The Dedacciai arrived last Monday and I fitted the headset before dropping the frameset into my LBS to have the BB shell faced and the steerer cut
I collected the frameset from my LBS on Friday lunchtime and the build began
By Friday afternoon the job was almost complete, just needed to test ride it to dial in my position
After a few tweaks to the saddle height, bars and shifters the bartape was applied and mission accomplished
Weighing in (without pedals or bottle cage) at 7.6kgs
The only parts I had to buy for this build was a 31.6mm seatpost, a front derailleur clamp and a new Deda bottle cage (which has just arrived today and unopened as yet) and taking into account what I could have sold the 105 groupset for, the wheels, bars, stem, saddle were all lying in the garage doing nothing. this is possibly the least expensive bike I've owned for years, my total outlay is less than the cost of my Peugeot Carbolite I bought back in the 80s.
Now to get some miles in and enjoy it

Thats a beautiful bike, never seen one before. Do you mind me asking where you bought the frame from and what bars are you using, they look to have a nice compact curve with plebty of space while on the drops?0

great build. that white looks sweet.
if you don't mind me asking: how have you found the comfort for extended rides?0 -
I've not done any massive distances on it, around 75-80 miles maximum in one go and it was comfortable and fast enough when you step on the pedals. The tubes are oversize so it looks heavier than what it is, a chunky frame that goes well... I like it0

Thanks for the prompt reply. I was looking at 100 to 200km rides with climbs so it sounds like it will be comfortable. Hopefully my build will look as good.
Cheers
